Wonderful Avedon show at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills. Some huge black and white prints (originally shown at The Met in NY in 1978), one wall with over forty smaller prints as well as a wall of contacts and an alcove of never-seen-before colour transparencies. This image is of Cheryl Crane, daughter of actress Lana Turner, who Avedon photographed in 1963 after she was exonerated for the killing of her mother's abusive boyfriend.
