Richard Avedon: Immortal Book Signing with Paul Roth
Join Paul Roth, Director of The Image Centre, for a special book signing on Saturday, November 29, 2–5pm at Stephen Bulger Gallery. Richard Avedon Immortal: Portraits of Aging, 1951–2004 celebrates Avedon’s unflinching exploration of aging through nearly 100 striking portraits and fresh insights into his enduring vision. Edited by Roth, with an introduction by Adam Gopnik (The New Yorker) and contributions from Gaëlle Morel and Vince Aletti, this landmark publication precedes a major exhibition opening at The Image Centre in September 2026.
Paul Roth is Director of The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University. Previously, he served as Executive Director of The Richard Avedon Foundation in New York; as Senior Curator of Photography and Media Arts at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC; and as archivist of the Robert Frank Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Since 1990, Roth has organized (or helped organize) more than 100 museum exhibitions and film programs. A leading authority on the life and work of Richard Avedon, Roth edited and co-authored Richard Avedon: Immortal, Portraits of Aging 1951-2004 (Phaidon, 2025), as well as Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power (Steidl, 2008), and contributed an essay to Richard Avedon: Murals and Portraits (Gagosian, 2012). Roth is also co-author of numerous books about American photographer Gordon Parks, including Gordon Parks: The Flávio Story (2018) and Gordon Parks: Collected Works (2012).
