Richard Avedon In The American West
Harry Abrams, New York, 1985. First Edition. Small Folio. Softcover
stiff illustrated wrappers. Very slight, scattered yellowing to
the front and rear covers. Very Near Fine.
SIGNED by Richard Avedon in the year of publication.
Richard Avedon’s In the American West is widely regarded as a
landmark project in photographic history and a definitive expression
of the power of photographic art. For In the American West,
Avedon traveled throughout five years, meeting and photographing
the plain people of the West: ranch workers, roustabouts, bar
girls, drifters, and gamblers. The resulting book includes exquisitely
printed black and white photographs, an essay by Avedon
on his working methods and portrait philosophy, and a journal of
the project by Laura Wilson.
