Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004

Begins July 11 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Fashion photography was sexier after Avedon got hold of it. Portraiture was more penetrating. Five years after his death, SFMOMA offers a long look at one of the greatest photographers ever, in an exhibition presenting more than 200 of his works.
