Richard Avedon created some of the most iconic portraits and fashion photos of the 20th century. A new show commemorates the photos he shot in France, an inexhaustible inspiration for him. The 200 plus photographs range from his Harpers Bazaar spreads covering the collections in the 1940s till his collaboration with Egoiste Magazine in 1985. Celebrity portraits include Jean Cocteau, Coco Chanel, Catherine Deneuve, Jean Genet, Jeanne Moreau, Yannick Noah and Isabelle Adjani.
