Richard Avedon Exhibition
Richard Avedon Exhibition
This exhibition of work by seminal photographer Richard Avedon presented his famous mural of Allen Ginsberg and family alongside his portraits of prominent politicians. Commissioned by Rolling Stone magazine, this series titled “The Family” was originally published just before the 1976 election.
Our task was to create and implement a spatial design solution for the exhibition, using the carefully curated sequence from the original 1976 Rolling Stone piece as a road map.
To increase display surface and generate both interior and exterior space within the gallery, we created a modular, free-standing wall panel system deployed in two triangular zones. The original photographs were displayed on these walls in the same layout and sequence as they appeared in Rolling Stone.
