Avedon: Something Personal

Richard Avedon, the world's most famous and influential photographer, created iconic advertisements, fashion photos, and notable portraits throughout his successful six-decade career. He also photographed uncelebrated individuals to capture the essence of America. Avedon cultivated a unique mystique that enamored even his famous subjects, and carefully crafted his own image to maintain a sense of privacy. In "Avedon: Something Personal," co-authors Norma Stevens and Steven M. L. Aronson provide a memoir, biography, and oral history of Avedon's life, including an inside look at his studio.

The book contains startlingly candid reminiscences by Mike Nichols, Calvin Klein, Claude Picasso, Renata Adler, Brooke Shields, David Remnick, Naomi Campbell, Twyla Tharp, Jerry Hall, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Bruce Weber, Cindy Crawford, Donatella Versace, Jann Wenner, and Isabella Rossellini, among dozens of others.

Hardcover | 720 pages.
