Avedon

The Richard Avedon show at the Corcoran Gallery of Art where I worked this summer just finished its first week. It's been getting some great press, both national and international. I figured, since I spent most of my summer stuffing press packets for this show, I'd keep track of the press that's come out of it.

Here's a piece by the BBC with curator Paul Roth. He's explaining Avedon's legacy and his intent when taking the portraits. It ends with a view of the Obama portrait that was essentially one of his last. It's a really well done package, except that the background music is a little distracting.

Enjoy!
