Hatje Cantz Verlag, 2001. 2001. Softcover. Der gebürtige New Yorker Richard Avedon ist seit über 50 Jahren ein ruhe- und schonungsloser Chronist unserer Zeit. »Niemand hat einer Nation ein umfassenderes, disziplinierteres Fotodokument von sich selbst gegeben«, schrieb John Laar in der Londoner »Times«. Seine eindrucksvollen, psychologischen Porträtserien rücken Avedon in die erste Reihe der Menschendarsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts.Die Publikation stellt mit »In the American West« ein Projekt des Fotografen vor, das er von 1979 bis 1984 realisierte und in Europa bisher weniger bekannt ist. Die Porträts zeigen Menschen des Mittleren WestensBerg- und Landarbeiter, Fabrikarbeiter, Arbeitslose, Obdachlose, Ausgestoßene.

New York: Abrams, 1985. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in photo illustrated cloth in the original glassine jacket. Folio. Regarded as a project in photographic history and an expression of the power of photographic art, this book was first published by Thames & Hudson in 1985. In the American West was a landmark in the career of New York photographer Richard Avedon and in the history of photography.
