Avedon Foundation criticizes biographer

NEW YORK

The publisher of a new Richard Avedon biography says it will look into alleged inaccuracies raised by the late photographer’s foundation, but rejected calls to withdraw the book.

Last week, the Richard Avedon Foundation issued a long list of “exaggerations and inaccuracies” in “Avedon: Something Personal,“ co-authored by Steven M.L. Aronson and former foundation head and longtime Avedon colleague Norma Stevens. The foundation is asking that the Penguin Random House imprint Spiegel & Grau cease publication of the book, which came out last month and draws upon interviews with many of Avedon’s friends and associates.
