Publisher's Synopsis
Working out of Avedon's studio after hours, Lewin helped create the aura for this iconic era in photographic history. This monograph on the work of Gideon Lewin, master printer and assistant to Richard Avedon for sixteen years, features behind-the-scenes photos, alternative takes, and never-before-seen images from an iconic era in photographic history. Avedon: Behind the Scenes tells the story, shows the processes, and reveals the feelings, onset and off, of this revolutionary period in photography.
