Lahr, John et al. RICHARD AVEDON: Performance. 304 pages, roughly 205 plates, most in b&w. 4to, cloth-backed boards, with flap closure. New York, Abrams, 2008.
A collection of more than 200 performing artists - actors, comedians, pop stars, musicians, divas - many in photographs that have rarely or never been seen before. So pervasively part of the zeitgeist, these images read like a roll-call of the second half of the twentieth century.
