In Richard Avedon’s over 60-year career behind the camera, he became the pre-eminent fashion photographer and then one of the most famous photographic portraitist in the world. More than 150 prominent figures have chosen a photograph they admire by Avedon, who died in 2004, for a large exhibition celebrating the centenary of the photographer’s birth. Avedon 100 is open through June 24 at Gagosian Gallery in New York.
