ANNIE LEIBOVITZ / WORK presents a compelling mix of new and rarely seen photographs alongside some of the most recognizable portraits in American culture. Known for her signature ability to capture intimacy and personality, Leibovitz’s images feature a remarkable roster of artists, musicians, politicians, athletes, and other influential figures throughout five decades. From her early black-and-white work to her more recent, painterly conceptual portraits, the exhibition showcases the breadth and depth of her creative journey throughout the past 50 years. Visitors will enjoy the exhibition in an engaging dual format, with prints on paper complemented by cutting-edge digital tower displays. This immersive presentation highlights both the timeless quality of her earlier work and her embrace of new photographic technologies to portray the figures defining today’s cultural landscape.
Leibovitz’s remarkable career began in the 1970s, when she made her mark as “Rolling Stone” magazine’s chief photographer. Immersed in the cultural and social upheavals of the era, her work quickly became emblematic of the time. In the early 1980s, she transitioned to photographing for “Vanity Fair” and later “Vogue,” broadening her scope and establishing herself as the definitive portraitist of the world’s most fascinating figures. Her legacy is one of capturing the essence of her subjects with unparalleled intimacy and artistry, a feat that continues to define her as one of the most significant photographers of our time.
