理查德·埃韦顿的才华-除了清晰、高清晰度的肖像画，预示着高分辨率的年龄-是他吸引观众深入个性的天赋。无论是尊重还是厌恶，对他的臣民都几乎不可能不感到一种发自内心的反应。他的作品将人们的罪恶感提升到了一种高水平的艺术。

那么，想象一下，生活在埃夫登的版画里-这正是体验Gagosian纽约最近一次展览的感觉。在展览中，画廊里几乎都贴满了埃夫登的角色。在理查德·埃韦顿(Richard Avedon：壁画和肖像)一书中，Gagosian人更进一步，将Avedon最引人注目的生物从上世纪60年代和70年代的动荡时期拉了出来，在这段时期，公众人物要么被尊崇，要么受到辱骂，其间什么都没有。一切都是黑白的。

当时壁画的规模是空前的。今天，他们的力量几乎没有减弱，尽管我们已经开始期待艺术具有很大的影响。埃韦顿的多面板壁画跨度在6至11米之间，以他特有的、高清晰度的、白色背景上的模型风格执行。他的臣民-诗人、艺术家、激进分子，甚至是尼克松的亲信-都在传递信息。金斯伯格与他的搭档彼得·奥洛夫斯基拥抱着上世纪60年代的纽约。越南战争管理人员与美国凝固汽油弹幸存者并列。艾比·霍夫曼把我们的鸟翻过来了。

穿插着一些较小的肖像，它们的力量也同样强大，让你觉得自己能读懂自己的心思-或者打扰到你不能读懂的东西。
