Annie Leibovitz, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rob Besserer, Cumberland Island, Georgia, 1990Photograph © Annie LeibovitzFrom Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990 – 2005If you've missed it, better run because the exhibition will be over soon...
"I don't have two lives," Leibovitz says. "This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it." The exhibition features many of Leibovitz's best-known portraits of public figures, including actors such as Nicole Kidman, and Brad Pitt.
The show also highlights images of artists and architects such as Richard Avedon, Brice Marden, Philip Johnson, and Cindy Sherman.
At the heart of the exhibition, Leibovitz's personal photography documents scenes from her life, including the birth and childhood of her three daughters, and vacations, reunions, and rites of passage with her parents and extended family.
Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990–2005 threads together the two sides of Leibovitz's work both chronologically and creatively, projecting a narrative of the artist's private life against the backdrop of her public image as one of the world's best-known portrait photographers.
