Assisting Avedon

Comments, Please

Your comments on any of these posts are a great help to me in putting together memories for the book Assisting Avedon, very much a work-in-progress. I hope to have it finished and ready for publication by mid-2010, and with your help I may reach that goal.

At the bottom of each post is a link marked “comments.” Just click on this to leave your thoughts, which are sent first to me and then posted. 

Thank you,

That Vanity Fair Article

This is not part of the book.

Fans of Richard Avedon's photography and life should not miss the wonderful article about him in the current (December 2009) issue of Vanity Fair magazine. Running from pages 184 through 202 and illustrated with 11 photos, this piece by author David Michaelis focuses mainly on the time in 1965 when Dick was allowed to create an entire issue of Harper's Bazaar. A truly historic event in magazine publishing, his contribution was all about the NOW Generation — Pop art, the youthquake, racial integration, space travel, and even the frug. Don't miss it.
