Dallas Influence
Seeing the art of Dallas artists is still the best reason to go to Fort Worth. Life in Dallas often includes a quick trip to Fort Worth to see Dallas artists exhibited in Fort Worth museums. The Amon Carter Museum exhibition, “Richard Avedon at the Carter – In the American West” prompted just such a visit. This photographic exhibition was first mounted in 1985. Richard Avedon was the star photographer. Laura Wilson was his assistant who worked closely with him on this project. Now she is a star with much international recognition for her photographs, exhibitions and books that have been published of her work. Now, when one thinks of Richard Avedon, one immediately thinks of Laura Wilson. Between photographic journeys, Laura Wilson has lived in Preston Hollow for virtually all of her adult life and is a beloved member of the community.
