Richard Avedon Fax to Richardson Magazine
Andrew Richardson launched his eponymous magazine, Richardson Magazine, in 1998, aiming to mix pornography and art (artcore porn?).
The content is made of XXX and erotic photographs, with contributors like Terry Richardson, Mario Sorrenti, David Simms, Larry Clark, David Levinthal, and features porn stars like Jenna Jameson, Alicia Klass, and Tera Patrick (cover stories for the first 3 issues).
In 2001, Richardson asked photographer Richard Avedon if he wanted to contribute to the magazine. Here’s Avedon’s reply (fax) published in the magazine (issue A3).
