Description

“I don’t have two lives,” Annie Leibovitz writes within the Introduction to this choice of her work from 1990—2005. “That is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all a part of it.” Portraits of well-known figures–Johnny Cash, Nicole Kidman, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Keith Richards, Michael Jordan, Joan Didion, R2-D2, Patti Smith, Nelson Mandela, Jack Nicholson, William Burroughs, George W. Bush with members of his Cabinet–appear alongside pictures of Leibovitz’s friends and family, reportage from the siege of Sarajevo within the early Nineties, and landscapes made much more indelible through Leibovitz’s discerning eye. The images form a narrative wealthy in contrasts and continuities: The photographer has a long relationship that ends with illness and death. She chronicles the celebrations and heartbreaks of her large and robust circle of relatives. She has children of her own. All of the even as she is working, and the public work resonates with the themes of her life.
