About This Item
NY: Abrams/Pace Gallery, 2008. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, 304 pages. 30 color, 175 b&w images. The preeminent stars and artists of the performing arts from the second half of the 20th century offered their greatest gifts―and, sometimes, their inner lives―to Richard Avedon. More than 200 are portrayed in Performance, many in photographs that have been rarely or never seen before. Of course, the great stars light the way: Hepburn and Chaplin, Monroe and Garland, Brando and Sinatra. But here too are the actors and comedians, pop stars and divas, musicians and dancers, artists in all mediums with public lives that were essentially performances, who stand at the pinnacle of our cultural achievement. The celebrated author and critic John Lahr offers an elegant assessment of Avedon’s achievement. Four supremely talented artists from the performing arts―Mike Nichols, André Gregory, Mitsuko Uchida, and Twyla Tharp―contribute lively and moving memoirs about their collaborations with Avedon. A near fine copy in gate-folding black cloth boards with facing photographic plates; dual spines; no jacket as issued. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO WEIGHT, DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY. Record # 362582
