IMMORTAL: RICHARD AVEDON BY VINCE ALETTI, ADAM GOPNIK, PAUL ROTH & GAËLLE MOREL

Made in the United Kingdom.

Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition at The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Immortal is the first book to delve into Richard Avedon’s unflinching representation of aging throughout his career. Featuring nearly 100 portraits—printed in striking tritone—of cultural luminaries such as Toni Morrison, Truman Capote, Duke Ellington, Patti Smith, and Stephen Sondheim, as well as one of Avedon’s final self-portraits, this elegant volume is enriched with texts by Vince Aletti, Adam Gopnik, Paul Roth, and Gaëlle Morel, offering new perspectives on Avedon’s practice and his lifelong examination of the “avalanche of age.”
