100 Years Later, Richard Avedon’s Star Shines Brighter Than Ever

Explaining the unique idea of the curation, she continued, “It was Laura Avedon’s thought to ask folks to contribute and inform us what their favourite Avedon {photograph} was, and that [became] the curatorial idea of the present. We wished a mission that might converse to Avedon’s resonance at present and the place we’re at present and thought, What’s higher than one voice? A number of voices.”

In a nook of the Increase Increase Room, Blasberg flipped via photos of the exhibition on his cellphone, exhibiting pictures of attendees like Campbell, Leto, Kloss, and Hutton, who posed alongside her famed portrait, sporting the identical bucket hat Avedon had shot her in a long time earlier than.

“That is the primary exhibition I’ve labored on in a curatorial schtick,” Blasberg defined. “Within the ’90s, rising up in St. Louis—I’m pre-digital—I needed to uncover Richard Avedon in magazines. It was the primary title I knew, and I needed to go to Barnes & Noble and discover the books, so that is form of a candy full-circle second.”
