RICHARD AVEDON: PORTRAITS OF POWER CORCORAN GALLERY OF ART
September 13, 2008–January 25, 2009

WASHINGTON, D.C.—This fall, the Corcoran Gallery of Art will premiere a special
exhibition, Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power, in conjunction with the presidential election
season in Washington, D.C. Bringing together more than 200 of Richard Avedon’s political
portraits of the country’s power elite for the first time, the Corcoran will present many rarelyseen
and some never-before-exhibited or published photographs.

Richard Avedon, America’s pre-eminent editorial portraitist and fashion photographer,
photographed the faces of politics throughout his career. Juxtaposing images of elite
government, media, and labor officials with counter-cultural activists and ordinary citizens
caught up in national debates, Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power will explore a five-decade
taxonomy of politics and power by one of the country’s best-known artists.
