Doe Avedon
.
Photograph by Richard Avedon at the Gare du Nord, Paris, August 1947. Doe Avedon, model and actress, and the inspiration – along with Richard Avedon, her first husband – for the movie Funny Face, died last week at the age of 86.
In 1949 Doe divorced Richard Avedon to marry Dan Matthews, an actor. “I would have crawled to the Bronx on my knees to bring Doe back,” Mr. Avedon said in 1993.

A preview from the Akris SS 2012 campaign – the model is Daga Ziober but I'm not sure who shot it... maybe Steven Klein? Minimal and beautiful and I love the white space around the image.

Frederick Eversley: Big Red Lens, c.1985, on view at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, which was financed and recently opened by Alice Walton, heir to the Wal-Mart fortune. Roberta Smith writes in the Times that "much more than just a demonstration of what money can buy or an attempt to burnish a rich family’s name, Crystal Bridges is poised to make a genuine cultural contribution, and possibly to become a place of pilgrimage for art lovers from around the world." (Read the rest of her profile and see a slideshow here.) Roadtrip to Arkansas, anyone?
