Until december 21, Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills is hosting an exhibition that spans six decades of the very special photograpghy by Richard Avedon (1923–2004).
A short overview:
Approximately 300 contact prints, drawn from the Foundation’s extensive
archive of sittings, reveal the tremendous range of subjects that Avedon
photographed: musician Ella Fitzgerald; Avedon’s adored sister, Louise;
and the young actress Elizabeth Taylor, among many. An additional room
is devoted to his unprinted color work, with dozens of transparencies
displayed in wall-mounted light boxes. Subjects range from 1958–59
advertisements featuring Carmen Dell’Orefice to supermodels Stephanie
Seymour and Christy Turlington.

It's December, in Amsterdam not really the most sunny month of the year. The 'Amsterdam Light Festival' brought international artists to Amsterdam to enlighten the city for 50 days. They worked on 30 light sculptures and projections in the historical city centre. The side programme has an extensive amount of events, taking place in many museums, restaurants, theatres and shops.
My plan is to participate in the 'Illuminate', a spectacular evening walk through the beautiful Plantage Neighborhood of Amsterdam. On this route, illuminated artworks have been installed to be part of this evening walk.
