Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon  was one of America’s most prominent photographers.

His works defined much of our fashion, art, and celebrity photography in the second half of the 20th century.

Bob Dylan by Richard Avedon

Audrey Hepburn by Richard Avedon, 1953

Avedon, who passed away in 2004 while on an assignment, grew up in the Bronx and started off as a photographer for the Merchant Marines in the early 1940s.  He later started providing images for Vogue and Life, depicting models in all sorts of emotion.  His art was always slightly edgy, blending the dramatic with the playful, such as showing a model adorned in Dior, posing next to elephants.  I especially like how his pieces brought out the movement or emotion in scene, rather than always portraying a lifeless subject.

Now, 6 years after his passing, Avedon’s photos are heading to Paris to be auctioned off this Fall for hundreds of thousands of dollars.  ”Dovima with Elephants” is expected to sell for $500,000 to $700, 000.  The total collections of about 60 photographs is worth up to $6 million.  The auction was set up by the Avedon Foundation of New York, hoping to create an endowment to carry out the legacy of the late artist.

The photos will be auctioned off on Nov. 20, 2010, around the same time as the Photo Paris festival.  Here are some more of Avedon’s works.



Dovima

Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba (December 11, 1927 – May 3, 1990), later known as Dorothy Horan, and best known as Dovima, was a model during the 1950s.

Last monday I went to BRACKWELL'S ART AND POSTER SHOP, and then I watched this beautiful woman in a artbook which name is"Vogue" Model: The Faces of Fashion by Robin Derrick and Robin Muir. When I saw her first, I can't take my eyes off this model of legend. she has very attractive face. I like so much her's dramatic eyes makeup. she looks like really elegant woman . So i'm colleting some her's pic.

“She was the last of the great elegant, aristocratic beauties…the most remarkable and unconventional beauty of her time.”
