The first book to showcase Richard Avedon's groundbreaking fashion photography from over two decades at Harper's Bazaar
Richard Avedon: The Harper's Bazaar Years showcases both iconic and little-known photographs that defined two decades of style and creativity. It documents the magazine's most groundbreaking period, when, as Avedon later reflected, "nobody could believe such a magazine existed."
The book includes a candid and never-before-published oral history that Avedon recorded on his years at the magazine, a critical essay by fashion insider Derek C. Blasberg, breakout features on multi-page gatefolds that explore key themes in Avedon's work, and a foreword by the current editor of Harper's Bazaar, Samira Nasr.
When twenty-one-year-old Richard Avedon worked his way into Harper's Bazaar at the end of 1944, Carmel Snow had already spent more than two decades in top fashion publishing and had led Harper's Bazaar as editor in chief for ten years.
First at Vogue (1921-32), and then at Harper's Bazaar (1933-58), she discovered or recruited photographers Edward Steichen, Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï, Lillian Bassman, and Irving Penn, among others. But from this exalted group, Richard Avedon would rise to the top, dominating Harper's Bazaar for more than twenty years during what is considered the golden age of the magazine.
Essential for fashion lovers, collectors, and anyone captivated by the art of photography, this book is a celebration of mid-century vision, innovation, and enduring style.
