Happy birthday to Richard Avedon, who was born on this day in 1923.
One of the twentieth century’s most influential photographers, Avedon is renowned for his striking and radically candid portraits of artists, actors, writers, and cultural icons.
As we look ahead to our upcoming exhibition in September 2026, we’re excited to celebrate Avedon’s enduring impact. Here's a sneak peek of some of the unforgettable works that will be on view at The Image Centre this fall. 🎞️🖤
"Richard Avedon Immortal: Portraits of Aging, 1951–2004" opens at The Image Centre on Sept. 9 and runs through Dec. 5, 2026. Learn more: https://theimagecentre.ca/exhibition/richard-avedon-immortal/
