Richard Avedon on Celebrity
Due out this month: “Richard Avedon Performance,” a new collection of rarely seen work by this iconic and talented photographer. Avedon had an enduring relationship with performers: he was portrayed by one—Fred Astaire—in the 1957 movie “Funny Face,” and throughout his career they remained among his favorite subjects.
“We all perform. It’s what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintentionally. It’s a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we’d like to be.”
–Richard Avedon, 1974
