Richard Avedon

Saturday 2 October 2004

Richard Avedon, photographer, has died on the job at the age of 81. I have admired his stark black and white portraits since I saw his oversized book Nothing personal (with text by James Baldwin, 1964).

I don't know how you extracted the Moore shot from the Richard Avedon website... which is now wearing widders' weeds.

Fiona: The Richard Avedon website has an all-black splash screen. Just click it.
