Further infos: In 1978 Richard Avedon prepared the "Portfolio of Eleven from Paris" in conjunction with his retrospective exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The images are from those taken in Paris during the late 1940's and early 1950's. To present this limited edition (75) portfolio of images, Avedon prepared an exquisite presentation portfolio of the same images specially printed by offset lithography. This presentation portfolio has now become a collector's piece. It is this presentation portfolio that is offered here together with authentic letter by Norma Stevens (Mr. Avedon's publicist).
