While I would not say she is at the top of my list, I do like some of her
images that are less avant-garde and more real.  Marketing is a big part of
notoriety these days, after all without marketing its hard to make money at
it.  But to each his own.  Personally, I like Avedon's portraits although
others say they are ridiculously simple, just shits of people in front of a
white wall photographed much like a mug shot.

Depends on what you think about Liebovitz. To me, she 10% photograpy and
90% marketing.
