Rare prints from Richard Avedon's seminal series In the American West (1979–84), curated by his granddaughter Caroline Avedon. The exhibition presents 21 of 126 editioned images, with several pieces unseen since their 1985 debut. Shot against stark white backdrops using an 8×10 Deardorff camera, the series captures working-class Americans — coal miners, ranchers, drifters — with unflinching intimacy. A significant departure from his fashion work, these portraits reveal Avedon's ability to find profound dignity in ordinary lives.
