    RICHARD AVEDON: MADE IN FRANCE - SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY

    (AVEDON, RICHARD). Thurman, Judith.. San Francisco: Fraenkel Gallery, 2001. First Edition 1/5000. Folio. Pictorial Boards. Photography Monograph. Near Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 56pp, 40 quadratone illustrations. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. This strikingly beautiful monograph stands as an important rediscovery of a small but elegant body of work in the career of one of the world's best-known photographers. The Richard Avedon images presented here, many for the first time, were made in Paris for "Harper's Bazaar" during the 1950s. What is particularly notable about this presentation is that the images have been reproduced to the exact scale of the engraver's prints made for Avedon by the master printer Andre Gremola, and are uncropped, on their original mounts (with all of the artist's notations on both front and back). They provide a remarkable portrait of the working methods of one of the most influential fashion photographers in history. This oversized book, measuring 12 x 15", has been printed without compromise using quadratone plates throughout. Produced in a very small print run, this sold out only a few months following its publication, and has become highly sought after. A most handsome example (cited on page 221 of "From Fair to Fine: 20th Century Photography Books That Matter" and page 122 of "From Fair to Fine 3") additionally bearing the BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED PRESENTATION "For Mike with "remembrance of things past" / ever Dick / 2001" in the year of publication in black marker on the rear colophon. 1-881337-12-X Inventory Number: 024318
