Book - Avedon 100

Avedon 100 celebrates Richard Avedon’s enduring influence on photography and his profound impression on visual culture worldwide. Published for the Gagosian exhibition marking the centenary of the photographer’s birth.

Over one hundred artists, designers, musicians, writers, curators, and fashion figures, including Naomi Campbell, Elton John, Spike Lee, Sally Mann, Kate Moss, and Chloë Sevigny, each selected an Avedon photograph and wrote about its impact on their lives. The book spans his oeuvre, from the In the American West series and images of the social justice movement to classic portraiture, advertising, and fashion work.
