| EXHIBIT — May 4–July 6, 2012 Richard Avedon: Murals & Portraits Gagosian Gallery, 522 W. 21st St., New York City Known for his powerful and dynamic portraits, the photographer is the subject of Richard Avedon: Murals and Portraits, which showcases his iconic murals depicting the electric cultural and political years of 1969 to 1971. The commanding photography installation is built on panels measuring 20 to 35 feet wide, with subjects including Andy Warhol and the stars of The Factory (photo); the Chicago Seven, the political radicals charged with a conspiracy to incite riots during the 1968 Democratic convention; beat poet Allen Ginsberg and his extended family; and the Mission Council, a group of military and government officials who governed the United States' participation in the Vietnam War. The Gagosian Gallery collaborated with the Richard Avedon Foundation for the exhibit, tapping architect David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates to design the streamlined installation. The exhibit design celebrates the art of architectural choreography through a dramatic spatial composition: Four smaller rooms painted black are created through freestanding walls. Hours: Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. |
