Richard Avedon, Murals and Portraits, Brandhorst Museum, Until November 9, 2014
Twentieth-century photography legend Richard Avedon (1923-2004) had the unique ability to capture the spirit of his times. Although he is best known for the fashion photography that provided his main source of income, a number of magazines also asked him to photograph their interview subjects. Hence, it is his portraits of various political and cultural celebrities that are highlighted at this exhibition, along with a portrait series of anonymous patients at a psychiatric hospital in Louisiana in 1963. The latter series of mentally ill individuals illustrates a segment of society that lives alongside us, but that we often choose to ignore, lest we leave our established comfort zone. Last but not least, four photographic murals that Avedon created between 1969 and 1971 are also being featured.
