Avedon Fashion Photographs 1944-2000
-
You don't have to be a fashionista to love Richard Avedon's fashion photographs. They can be appreciated for innovative photographic techniques, as social documents of changing attitudes, and as works of art. Avedon was indeed a great artist and his fashion photographs are his greatest works, according to New York Times art critic Roberta Smith. This exhibition is a comprehensive study of Avedon's fashion photographs that includes a selection of over 200 images representing his stylistic evolution over a period of 50 years. Both iconic and lesser-known photographic prints, as well as never-before-seen material including contact sheets, magazine layouts, personal ephemera and archival material are included. All photographs are from the Avedon estate, and many are vintage prints.

The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato
-
They were miners, fathers, soldiers, farmers and children. They are revered by their descendents and have been visited by millions. They are rare, shocking...and completely accidental. Now, for the first time ever, they arrive in the United States in an all-new touring exhibition. 'The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato.' is a 10,000 square-foot exhibition that will debut at the Detroit Science Center. Featuring 36 accidental mummies on loan from the Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato, the exhibition combines science, history and cultural anthropology to immerse the visitor in the world of a Mexican city over 100 years ago where deceased residents naturally mummified in their crypts. This will be the very first time these mummies have been seen outside of Mexico.
At Detroit Science Center, Detroit, MI
