The film marks a reunion between Netflix and Imagine Documentaries, which recently collaborated on the documentary feature Marty, Life Is Short , a profile of Martin Short, which recently received three Primetime Emmy nominations, including best documentary special.
"I've always been drawn to stories that help us better understand remarkable people," Howard tells THR . "Richard Avedon was an artist whose work continues to resonate not only because of the extraordinary images he created, but because of the humanity and curiosity behind them. At Imagine Documentaries, that's exactly the kind of story we strive to tell, and this film gave us an extraordinary opportunity to explore Avedon's legacy through an unparalleled archive and the voices of those who knew him best. We're thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with Netflix to share his story with audiences everywhere."
Drawing upon unprecedented access to Avedon's personal archives, including never-before-seen stills and intimate behind-the-lens footage, as well as new interviews with his closest collaborators, Avedon chronicles the evolution, work and legacy of a photographer whose snaps of world leaders, international supermodels and pop culture icons made him as famous as many of his subjects. (He died in 2004 at the age of 81.)
As THR critic Sheri Linden put it in her review of the film out of Cannes , "It embraces the complexities of a man who turned artifice into a kind of superpower, whether he was dreaming up scenarios for fashion spreads or confronting an America as far removed from haute couture Manhattan as you could get."
