![]() ![]() Thinking about Washington and thinking about the election, it all came together. It seemed appropriate to time this between the convention and inauguration, Roth said of the exhibits timing, which runs from Saturday until Jan. He was a person who was always aware of what was going on, he chose to record a particular person at a particular moment in their life.Īnd at this particular moment, 54 days before Election Day, the Corcorans ode to power is a timely one. He really made power and politics a center of his work, Roth said. Museum curator Paul Roth said the museum chose to focus on power because power was as much a subject of Avedons work as the people he was actually photographing. The vast exhibition takes up the Corcorans entire second floor and spans nearly six decades of Avedons work, from his earlier years at Harpers Bazaar in the 1950s to his final project in 2004 for the New Yorker (the year Avedon died). ![]()
