AVEDON IN GAGOSIAN GALLERY
“Avedon: Women” is an exhibition that spans six decades of Richard Avedon’s photography. Gagosian Beverly Hills is pleased to announce this first solo exhibition of Avedon’s work in the Los Angeles area since 1976.
From the beginning of his career as a fashion photographer in the 1940s, Avedon was renowned for his distinctive and transformative imagery of women. His inventiveness, humor, and versatile talent flourished throughout sixty years of capturing both well-known and anonymous female subjects, ranging from celebrities and models to his friends and family. His images were imbued with an unconventional beauty and formidable intelligence.
“Avedon: Women” at Gagosian Beverly Hills will run from November 2 through December 21.
