Annie Leibovitz in Brooklyn

2006_10_arts_al2.jpg

Annie Leibovitz photographs will be traveling the world soon, and are on view at the Brooklyn Museum starting this week.

The exhibit, titled: Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990-2005, debuts in Brooklyn and will contain more than 100 photographs. The work on display, and also in the accompanying book of the same name, includes not only work Leibovitz created as a professional photographer, but also personal photographs of her family and close friends. She stated, “I don’t have two lives. This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it.”

The exhibit runs through January of 2007, so get over there and check it out.

Don't forget to check out the other Leibovitz exhibit, tracking the construction of the new Times building. Check that out online, here.

October 20th through January 21st // Brooklyn Museum [200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn] //

she is the most overrated photographer there is – if the people she shot weren't interesting because of their fame, the photos themselves would be b o r i n g.

agreed. her photos are like gap ads.

wow, it looks like some people around here had a big, heaping portion of jealousy stew for lunch. yummy.

jealous? i just hate her photos. they reveal nothing of her subjects. they look like they were staged by publicists.

what happened to the diddy-in-leather-pants-watching-scarface picture??? that was cool.

Since her PERSONAL LIFE and her WORKING LIFE are one, then expect to see Annie's thrilling photographs documenting her next-door neighbor's townhouse - - and when Annie offered to buy the house next door (at a low price) and when her neighbor refused to sell the home at Annie's offering price, then Annie tunnelled through her cellar, undermined their foundation, and destroyed their 19th century brownstone. Gee, we can't wait to see those HOME photographs, Annie Leibovitz. Bring it on. And all the close-ups of the wreckage, the jacks the city had to install to support the surrounding buildings, the sheeting up and down your block. . . . can't wait to see the up-close-and-personal Annie Leibovitz pictures.

Oh and how about how she regularly abuses the photo assistants who work with her? She is notorious in the photo industry for being terrible to those who work for her.

I just want to compliment Liebovitz on her photos of the White House gang that appear online from Vanity Fair. They are eloquently revealing! All the cupidity, the over-serious, self-satisfied, slightly sneering expressions! How does she do it? Thanks be!
