...that the Whitney show, which was organized by the photography historian Jane Livingston, includes hardly any of Avedon's fashion photography. And there is something valuable about looking at Avedon's work apart from what we know about the charmed kid who blew into the offices of Harper's Bazaar in the late 1940s and set the superexotic Dovima against a trio of dancing pachyderms.
