You might think Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keefe would be more exciting than Richard Avedon. You'd be wrong. I'd seen Avedon's American West at the Cantor (Stanford) exhibit a few years ago, and I knew he was good. But the SF MOMA exhibit has those as well as some photos from other times and with famous people, including Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, Truman Capote, and an ensemble portrait of Andy Warhol and Members of the Factory. As it happens some guys are nude in that last one. There's also the photo of Twiggy with the massive and awesome hair all in the air. The photos are all from large format film and large prints.
If your strapped for time, I'd almost skip the Adams and O'Keefe which wasn't terribly new and was horribly crowded.
