In four monumental photographic murals (reproduced in large gatefolds) and many related portraits, he portrayed Andy Warhol's gender-bending Factory, with Viva and Candy Darling; Abbie Hoffman and the radical agitators of the Chicago Seven; Allen Ginsberg's family, friends, and fellow artists; and the U.S. Mission Council in Saigon alongside searing portraits of victims of the Vietnam War.\u003cbr\u003eThe photographs are accompanied by images of archival material, including Avedon's diaries, correspondence, and contact prints. Major essays explore Avedon's penetrating incursions into the history and spirit of these tumultuous years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eAvedon: Murals and Portraits\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The past season has given us some memorable photography shows in the city's museums and galleries.
