RICHARD AVEDON RETROSPECTIVE

From his extraordinary photojournalistic documentation of American civil rights campaigners in the 1960s to his conceptual transformation of Parisian fashion houses in the 1980s, it is no understatement to describe the career of Richard Avedon as epic. This retrospective exhibition, organised by the Louisiana Museum in Humlebaek in association with the Richard Avedon Foundation, surveys the fascinating career of this captivating photographer from his debuts in 1946 un until his death in 2004. The exhibit compiles some of Avedon's most celebrated work, including collections recording the Vietnam War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a series dedicated to his dying father. Perhaps most poignant is his sequence of 700 portraits of lower and middle-class families in the western United States - an emotional intense and wholly profound mediation on the mythology of the American West.

C'est la première grande rétrospective organisée sur Richard Avedon, depuis son décès en 2004. Après le Louisiana Museum, du 24 août 2007 au 13 janvier 2008, et Forma, à Milan, du 14 février au 8 juin 2008, elle est présentée, cet été, au Jeu de Paume Concorde, dont elle occupe l'ensemble des espaces. Cinquante ans durant, Avedon fut l'un des plus grands noms de la photographie de mode. L'exposition regroupe 270 œuvres retraçant l'ensemble de sa carrière de 1946 à 2004 : des photographies de mode bien sûr, mais surtout des portraits de nombreuses célébrités du monde de la politique, de la littérature, de l'art et du spectacle.

Tue 1 July-Sun 28 Sep. Jeu de Paume, 1 pl de la Concorde, 8th. M°Concorde. 01.47.03.12.52. www.jeudepaume.org
