A whirlwind three days at the Musée de beaux-arts de Montréal @mbamtl — final install touches, press preview, vernissage, and an onstage conversation with Mary-Dailey Desmarais @md_desmarais, Zhao Ionesco Chief Curator at the MMFA.

It was exciting to see the exhibition come together and to experience its launch.

RICHARD AVEDON: IMMORTAL features nearly 90 portraits of public figures and everyday citizens from across Avedon’s prolific career and is on view in Montreal through August 9. The exhibition then travels to The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University, where it will be on view from September 9 through December 5, 2026.

Be sure to stop by the MMFA shop for the catalog. It includes writing by Adam Gopnik, Vince Aletti, Gaëlle Morel @gaelleleilamorel, and yours truly, alongside Avedon’s extraordinary photographs. The catalog is also available from major booksellers. Link in bio.

Join us from 6 to 8pm tomorrow, January 15, for the opening of “Facing West,” an exhibition of rare prints from Richard Avedon’s photographic series “In the American West” (1979–84) at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London.

Avedon is pictured here in 1983 with Richard Wheatcroft, a rancher from Jordan, Montana, whom he photographed twice (in both 1981 and 1983), and with whom he developed a friendship. Using an 8 x 10 Deardorff camera, natural light, and scant props, Avedon photographed his sitters against a white backdrop, retaining the black border from the film negative edge to emphasize the images’ absence of compositional manipulation. To learn more, follow the link in our bio.

“Richard Avedon: Facing West,” an exhibition of rare prints from the photographic series “In the American West” (1979–84), including works that have not been shown since their debut in 1985, opens at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, on January 15. The show is curated by the photographer’s granddaughter, Caroline Avedon (@carolineavedon).

“In the American West,” an extended series commissioned by and first exhibited at the Amon Carter Museum (@theamoncarter) in Fort Worth, Texas, celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 2025. Returning to the series four decades after its initial unveiling, “Facing West” prompts reflection on the evolving interpretation of the photographs’ imagery, and on the series’ status as its maker’s magnum opus. To learn more, follow the link in our bio.

It has been 40 years since Avedon’s In the American West debuted at the Amon Carter Museum in Forth Worth, Texas. The Richard Avedon Foundation is pleased to be opening a show of select works from the project at Gagosian Grosvenor Hill (@gagosian) in London on January 15, 2026, where the newly reissued catalogue will also be for sale. “Facing West” is a collection of 21 works selected from In The American West (1979-1985) focusing on Avedon’s intense curiosity about the human condition and how we confront that condition in today’s world.

It has been 40 years since Avedon’s In the American West debuted at the Amon Carter Museum in Forth Worth, Texas. The Richard Avedon Foundation is pleased to be opening a show of select works from the project at Gagosian Grosvenor Hill (@gagosian) in London on January 15, 2026, where the newly reissued catalogue will also be for sale. “Facing West” is a collection of 21 works selected from In The American West (1979-1985) focusing on Avedon’s intense curiosity about the human condition and how we confront that condition in today’s world.
