I still remember those Avedon portraits from the first time around. I certainly plan to see both, probably taking a Friday off and spending the weekend there. Wilson's photographs provide an extraordinary context in which to view In the American West: Photographs by Richard Avedon, which will be at the museum concurrently, September 17, 2005, through January 8, 2006." Here we have an insider's look at Avedon creating the portraits for his landmark project, commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum in 1978. "The photographs Laura Wilson made during the summers of 1979?1984 when she assisted Richard Avedon on his project In the American West are presented in this exhibition. She has an exhibit running concurrently with the new display of In The American West at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. "Avedon at Work: In the American West" from 1993 is the book by his project assistant, Laura Wilson.
