• Lot Description

  Set of four limited first edition psychedelic posters 'The Beatles' by portrait and fashion photographer Richard Avedon (1923-2004). Limited first edition. Copyright by Nems Enterprises Ltd. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd., England. Distributed by Stern Magazine. 'Avedon had numerous museum exhibitions around the world. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, presented two solo exhibitions during his lifetime, in 1978 and 2002. In 1980 another retrospective was organized by the University Art Museum in Berkeley. Major retrospectives were mounted at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1994), and at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humblebaek, Denmark (2007; traveled to Milan, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and San Francisco, through 2009). Showing Avedon's work from his earliest, sun-splashed pictures in 1944 to portraits in 2000 that convey his fashion fatigue, the International Center of Photography in 2009 mounted the largest survey of the photographer's fashion work. Also in 2009, the Corcoran Gallery of Art showed "Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power", bringing together the photographer's political portraits for the first time.' {source: wikipedia} 27.5"h, 19"w each
