Few had seen the private collection with which he surrounded himself in his apartment on East 75th Street in New York. These photographs, assembled over five decades, are the subject of Eye of the Photographs from the Collection of Richard Avedon, comprising five fully-illustrated volumes housed in a sturdy slipcase. Avedon knew a good photograph when he saw one. Though he was far more interested in making pictures than collecting them, he lived surrounded by photographs of every kind, from the exalted to the unknown. “From the time he was 10 and the owner of a box camera,” Truman Capote wrote about Avedon in “Observations,” a book they collaborated on in 1959, “the walls of his room were ceiling to floor papered with pictures torn from magazines, photographs by Munkacsi and Steichen and Man Ray.” “A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion… All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.” -- Richard Avedon The photographs in Avedon's collection were acquired primarily by purchase, in some cases by gift. Several bear inscriptions of respect or affection from other artists, notably Jacques-Henri Lartigue and Henri Cartier-Bresson, photographers with whom he forged significant friendships. Avedon was also the first of only three people to purchase Diane Arbus's landmark portfolio A Box of Ten Photographs, a gesture that signaled so much to the artist that she re-titled his portfolio to include an eleventh print. Avedon's collections of portraits by Peter Hujar, of cigarette still lifes by Irving Penn, and of studies of the 19th century beauty, the Countess de Castiglione (1827-99), are unrivaled.
