The fashion photographer's iconic work is on display at Detroit's exquisite gallery

Richard Avedon, the legendary fashion photographer, left his mark on the world of couture with a career of images that spanned the ages.

Now fashion and art fans alike can see his work up close and personal at an exquisite exhibit of his work at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Launching his career as the world exited World War II, Avedon is considered one of the most influential and revolutionary photographers. In addition to his astute eye and celebrity photos, Avedon made his mark by introducing women of color to the fashion pages. From his Chinese-Portugese muse that he featured time and time again to a young African-American model he discovered in Detroit, Avedon wasn't afraid to push limits in the ever evolving world of fashion.

In addition to the Avedon exhibition, the DIA is known as one of the largest and most impressive art collections in the country. With such coveted pieces as self portraits by Warhol and VanGogh to incredible antiquities and armor, more than 60,000 pieces of art are housed in the recently renovated and expanded museum.
