Avedon sale - Christie's Paris


Richard Avedon said that "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he's being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks." In his case, that "someone" has been Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, William Burroughs, Brigitte Bardot or Buster Keaton...

60 photographs of the master, will go on sale at Christie's in Paris from tomorrow until Saturday 20 November.
