Thursday, February 11, 2021, 6:00 pm

Philip Gefter's book What Becomes a Legend Most: A Biography of Richard Avedon is a study of the legendary photographer's life. A fashion photographer and portrait artist, Avedon's subjects included some of the most notable figures of the twentieth century including James Baldwin, Audrey Hepburn, Truman Capote, and Marilyn Monroe, as well as iconic models such as Donyale Luna and Jean Shrimpton. The book offers a detailed and luminous portrait of the man and his era.

Gefter will talk with the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology curator Melissa Marra-Alvarez about Avedon's early years and his transformative work for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, among other topics.
