In The American West: Richard Avedon
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Avedon's "In the American West" was a large-scale project intended to create a portrait of Americans of the West. The photographer travelled for five years meeting and photographing the people of the West - ranch workers, roustabouts, bar girls, drifters, and gamblers. He focused on men and women who worked at hard, uncelebrated jobs and lead unheralded lives. When the work was exhibited at the Amon Carter Museum, a reporter at the local paper wrote, "this is not our West." The show was controversial and remains so. The book includes an essay by Avedon on his working methods and portrait philosophy, as well as a journal of the project by Laura Wilson. This is the original book. Avedon died in 2004 Hardback 1st Edition, 1985 with acetate cover. Foxing to page edges and minor foxing to images on front and back cover overall very good condition - please see photos.
