A Photographer Inspired by Richard Avedon

The Australian reach of the late Avedon comes full circle

RichardAvedonPeopleLogoThe first Australian exhibit of Richard Avedon photos continues to make its way across the vast country. After stops in Canberra and Perth last year, the 81 featured photos are currently on display through March at the University of Melbourne’s Ian Potter Museum of Art.

Among the goods is arguably, still, Avedon’s most celebrated photo; the one shot in Paris in 1955 for Harper’s Bazaar with two elephants and one supermodel. Although Avedon, who passed away in 2004, was famously unhappy with one aspect of the shot, no such problems for the many who have enjoyed the show Down Under, including a famous local photographer.
