Yes, these are all the larger prints! Ill see if i can post some pictures after i visit.
It is a shame it won't be the complete show, only 40 out of the 124 original. I wonder if they will be showing any of the large prints?
No. It was exactly when a high Enron executive turned up dead in his car with an alleged suicide note, and the investigation was summarily concluded right then and there. When Kennedy was assassinated, I was only 11. That's the only way I can remember the date - a whole other round of Who Dunnit theories. I generally hated business trips with two exceptions : we were allowed to spend as much as we wanted on meals (like the best steak houses etc.), and I always booked window seats on flights, and got to look down on intervening topography in the West where I'd traveled and backpacked. So much of Nevada and the Southwest is absolutely gorgeous from the air. Too bad typical airliner windows are too fogged up for decent photography.
Do you have a source for that? Avedon and Penn were rivals, not enemies. Avedon had a set of Penn's cigarette butt photos in his personal collection.And it was no secret that Avedon was generally jealous of Penn.
Seriously? Texas is perfectly safe. I've raised 2 kids here and have traveled extensively all over the state for 50+ years. We are home to three of the largest cities in the US so don't listen to whatever news stations you are seeing. Go see the Amon Carter and have some BBQ.
You surely must be kidding.Also lived in Detroit for 30 years and never felt safe.

According to Laura Wilson, this was not Avedon's initiative. The Amon Carter Museum approached him about doing the project. Also, if Avedon had been inspired by Penn's work for In The American West, it would have more likely been the Small Trades portraits.
True. I reread the chapter about Penn and Avedon and there was certainly some resentment on Avedon's part about Penn being accepted by the art world (especially Szarkowsky at the Met). But there is little mention of jealousy, except a quote that Avedon was quite jealous of Penn's marriage to Lisa Fonseca. He certainly respected Penn's work but does not come across as jealous in the book.Suggest you start with "Avedon: Something Personal," by Norma Stevens and Steven Aronson (2017)_ Although Avedon and Penn were friendly, it was well known that Avedon was afraid he would be remembered only as a fashion photographer, while Penn would be considered a great artist.
Did you read the chapter quoting Avedon's psychiatrist, Robert Millman?
Did you read the chapter quoting Avedon's psychiatrist, Robert Millman? I think he talked about that as well. And yes, he greatly respected Penn's work, which may have been part of the problem.
Whatever happened to doctor-patient priviledge?

Szarkowski (note the spelling) was at MoMA.
I consider Szarkowski the Moses of photography. He delivered the commandments and spoke with god-like authority from on high.
