Leibovitz, Annie, 1949- |
| Title: |
Annie Leibovitz photographs |
| Dates [inclusive]: |
2009-2011 |
| Abstract: |
The Annie Leibovitz photographs held in this collection are among those shown in the
exhibition Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage at the New-York Historical Society from November 21, 2014 - February 22, 2015. The
prints owned by N-YHS were not in the exhibition as other versions of the same images
were on display.
These photographs are unlike her staged and carefully lit portraits made on assignment
for magazines and advertising clients, which she is known for. The photographs in
this exhibition were taken simply because Leibovitz was moved by the subject. The
images speak in a commonplace language to the photographer's curiosity about the world
she inherited, spanning landscapes both dramatic and quiet, interiors of living rooms
and bedrooms, and objects that are talismans of past lives.
