His work appeared regularly in Vogue, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone magazines.  \u003cbr/\u003eAmong his more memorable portraits were his breakthrough photographs of a  young Richard Gere then starring in 'American Gigolo' and later his many portraits of Madonna. \u003cbr/\u003eRitts' success however was not limited to stills. In 1991, he directed music videos for Chris Isaak and Janet Jackson. Both won top honours at the MTV awards that year. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Gala held Tuesday night at Sotheby's featured donated works of art by noted contemporary artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Keith Haring, Chuck Close, Robert Mapplethorpe and Ross Bleckner, President of the Board of the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA), one of the beneficiaries of the evening.\u003cbr/\u003eRitts, who was HIV positive, was an outspoken AIDS activist and a generous supporter of many AIDS organisations, including ACRIA and the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) which was the second beneficiary of the evening's fundraising efforts. \u003cbr/\u003eThe red carpet event began with  cocktails and a viewing of the art for sale and was followed by dinner
