Social actions are

makeshift forms,

often courageous,

sometimes ridiculous,

always strange.The controversial artist, whose work has reaped up to $105 million for a single painting, was once called “the bellwether of the art market.” But his personal life? That wasn’t for sale. His name is synonymous with pop art and his expansive career was one of the most diverse, controversial, and celebrated of his time. He was not only a visual artist but also a fi lmmaker, author, art collector, and founder of Interview magazine. Over the decades Warhol was praised for his creative amalgama-tion of celebrity, advertising, and artistic expression, but some critics viewed his works in the latter part of his career as vacant and superfi cial and shunned him as a “business artist.” Warhol says, “Making money is art, and

working is art and good business is the best art,”.

Richard Avedon was born on May 15, 1923 in New York City.

His mother, Anna Avedon, came from a family of dress

manufacturers, and

his father, Jacob Israel

Avedon, owned a clothing store

called Avedon’s Fifth Avenue.

Inspired by his parents’ clothing

businesses, as a boy Avedon took

a great interest in fashion, espe-

cially enjoying photographing the

clothes in his father’s store. At the age of 12, he joined the YMHA

(Young Men’s Hebrew Association) Camera Club. Avedon later de-

scribed one childhood moment in particular as helping to kindle

his interest in fashion photography: “One evening my father and I

were walking down Fifth Avenue looking at the store windows,” he

remembered. “In front of the Plaza Hotel, I saw a bald man with a

camera posing a very beautiful woman against a tree. He lifted his

head, adjusted her dress a little bit and took some photographs.

Later, I saw the picture in Harper’s Bazaar. I didn’t understand why

he’d taken her against that tree until I got to Paris a few years later:

the tree in front of the Plaza had that same peeling bark you see all

over the Champs-Elysees.”

Avedon attended DeWitt Clinton High School in New

York City, where one of his classmates and closest friends was the

great writer James Baldwin. In addition to his continued interest

in fashion and photography, in high school Avedon also developed

an affi nity for poetry. He and Baldwin served as co-editors of the

school’s prestigious literary magazine, The Magpie, and during

his senior year, in 1941, Avedon was named “Poet Laureate of New

York City High Schools.” After high school, Avedon enrolled at

Columbia University to study philosophy and poetry. However,

he dropped out after only one year to serve in the United States

Merchant Marine during World War II. As a Photographer’s Mate

Second Class, his main duty was taking identifi cation portraits of

sailors. Avedon served in the Merchant Marine for two years, from

1942 to 1944. Upon leaving the Merchant Marine in 1944, Avedon

attended the New School for Social Research in New York City

to study photography under Alexey Brodovitch at Harper’s Bazaar.

Louise Nevelson was an iconoclast artist known for her monochromatic abstract expressionist sculptures. She rose to be an internationally known artist and worked into her 80s. In 1932, Nevelson traveled to Germany to study Cubism with Hans Hofmann, until the Nazis closed the school. She followed Hofmann to New York and enrolled at the Art Students League, an art school where Jackson Pollock and other Abstract Expressionists studied. She worked in various media—painting, sculpture and printing—often exemplify-ing an established modernist style. Early in the 1930s, Nevelson was a “starving artist,” living simply and for her art. She survived by selling some artwork and, in time, her reputation as a sculptor grew.
