Richard Avedon at Cantor Arts Center

In 1985 the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas first exhibited "In the American West: Photographs by Richard Avedon." Avedon had spent the years of 1979-1984 photographing oil field and slaughterhouse workers, drifters, mental patients, and waitresses; the results shattered stereotypes of the previously glorified inhabitants of America's frontier. Following its highly acclaimed tour more than twenty years ago, the project has not been seen in its entirety here in the United States. For the 20th anniversary exhibition on tour, 78 images, representing the project's most famous and important works, were selected. This is the final stop on the exhibit's tour. We highly recommend it.
