  • Artist Bio:

    Richard Avedon was an American fashion and portrait photographer born in New York City in 1923. His iconic photos are said to have "defined America's image of style, beauty and culture". His portraits are praised for the way they capture the personality and soul of the subject, and some of his most famous subjects include Marilyn Monroe, Ezra Pound, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Andy Warhol, and more. He was also famous for his Paris fashion photography after the end of WWII, said to have symbolized the rebirth of a country hurt by war.

    Christina Paolozzi (1939 – 1988) was an Italian American model and an international social figure who was born in New York City. Her fullname was Maria Christina Orfea Paolozzi di Chiusi Bellin. She was the daughter of Alice Orpha Spaulding, a United Fruit Company heiress, and Count Lorenzo Paolozzi, a Roman aristocrat. She began modeling at the age of 17 and posed for a topless photograph taken by Richard Avedonin Harper's Bazaar in 1961. The picture caused a sensation because at the time fashion magazines did not publish unclothed figures.
