Avedon Warhol
This book was published on the occasion of Avedon Warhol at Gagosian, Britannia Street, London, the first major exhibition to pair works by Richard Avedon and Andy Warhol. Both artists rose to prominence in postwar America, straddling the realms of commercial fine art and producing portraits that became icons of the twentieth century.
This fully illustrated book presents almost thirty works by Avedon and over thirty works by Warhol in parallel, highlighting intersections between their images, subjects, and approaches. Essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H. Merjian consider themes of fame, aura, glamour, mortality, and identity in the artists’ respective bodies of work, while a combined chronology documents their careers and points of overlap.
