Review:
"This book pairs Avedon's clean, iconic photos with his subjects' own words, and the result feels like time travel to the '60s."
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon, 12/14/1999
Review:"Richard Avedon's portraits have such iconic power that they are interchangeable with their subjects--like that of Andy Warhol displaying the Frankenstein tracks of his abdominal scars after his shooting in 1968 or the solarized, acid-laced images of the Beatles. "
Eric P. Nash, New York Times, 1/16/2000

Book Description: Random House, 0. Book Condition: New. The is a very small to one corner of this book&newline;&newline;The Sixties is the product of a 30-year collaboration between photographer Richard Avedon and writer Doon Arbus, whose images and words combine in this volume to create a compelling portrait of one of the 20th century's most tumultuous decades. Avedon, the celebrated photographer whose portraits of some of the best-known personalities of our age have graced the pages of Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and The New Yorker magazines since the early 1950s, was prolific during the '60s. Looked at together, his images from those years create a visual time capsule. This large book is filled with a cacophony of Yippies, Black Panthers, Weathermen, Hare Krishnas, Andy Warhol Factory Superstars, pop artists, rock musicians, astronauts, pacifists, politicians, electroshock therapists, media correspondents, civil rights lawyers, antiwar activists, and more--all shot against his signature white background. Arbus, a novelist and writer for magazines including Rolling Stone and The Nation (and the daughter of photographer Diane Arbus), conducted interviews with many of the subjects. Snippets of those conversations provide an intimate and unforgettable document of the tension, vulnerability, anger, recklessness, hope, and empowerment many people experienced during that era. Brief biographies of the portrait sitters, as well as a chronology that spans the first signs of the war in Vietnam in 1960 to its final conclusion in 1973, provide excellent context for the images. The Sixties is riveting. --A.C.
