Correct, printed at Modernage by Gideon Lewin and Ruedi Hofmann. Hofmann was a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography and hired in 1981 by Avedon. Apparently Avedon often paid his help with gifted prints. Hofmann ended up with approximately 150 unsigned prints and was involved in a lawsuit with the Avedon estate regarding rights. Lewin also sued the estate over use rights of photographs he made of Avedon at work. He also claims to have printed all Avedon work from 1964 t0 1980.
Just a bit of trivia, does it make any difference in the like or dislike of Avedon's work? Probably not.
