With more than 200 color and black-and-white photographs, this stunning collection spans the first 20 years of work by one of the most important photographers of our time.

In this new collection from Annie Leibovitz, one of the most influential photographers of our time, iconic portraits sit side by side never-before-published photographs. Afterword by Annie Leibovitz. Annie Leibovitz: Portraits 2005-2016 is the photographer's follow-up to her two landmark books, Annie Leibovitz: Photographs, 1970-1990 and A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005. In this new collection, Leibovitz has captured the most influential and compelling figures of the last decade in the style that has made her one of the most beloved talents of our time. Each of the photographs documents contemporary culture with an artist's eye, wit, and an uncanny ability to personalize even the most recognizable and distinguished figures.

In May 1968, Linda McCartney became the first female photographer to have her work on the cover of Rolling Stone. During her tenure as the leading photographer of the late 1960s musical scene, she captured many of rock's most important musicians on film, including Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, The Doors, and the Grateful Dead. In 1967, Linda met Paul McCartney at London's Bag O' Nails club and subsequently photographed The Beatles during an album launch event. Paul and Linda were married on March 12, 1969. For the next three decades, until her untimely death, she devoted herself to her family, vegetarianism, animal rights, and photography. From her early rock portraits through raising four children with Paul, Linda captured her whole world on film, from spontaneous family pictures to studio sessions. Always unassuming and fresh, her work displays a warmth and feeling that captures the essence of any subject. Whether photographing her children, celebrities, animals, or a fleeting moment of everyday life,1 she did so without pretension or artifice. This retrospective volume--selected from her archive of over 200,000 images--was produced in close collaboration with Paul and their children.--From publisher description.

A virtual gallery of pop culture featuring three decades of celebrity images from the star photographer who became a pop star in her own right.

Mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert lang hat Annie Leibovitz mit ihren unverwechselbaren Porträts von Pop- und Rockstars, Politikern und anderen Ikonen der US-Kultur Geschichte geschrieben. Der Katalog zu einer Installation in der LUMA Foundation in Arles kehrt zu ihren Anfängen zurück, als sie am San Francisco Art Institute Kunst studierte und zur Fotografie fand. Diese von Leibovitz persönlich zusammengestellte Sammlung, die Kontaktbögen und Polaroidfotos umfasst, dokumentiert ihre Entwicklung als junge Fotografin und spiegelt eine faszinierende Ära wider. Ihre Fotoreportagen für den Rolling Stone, mit denen sie während ihrer Studienzeit begann, halten bedeutende gesellschaftliche Ereignisse fest, darunter die Proteste gegen den Vietnamkrieg, den Apollo 17-Start und den Präsidentschaftswahlkampf von 1972. Porträtiert werden Stars wie Muhammad Ali, Mick Jagger, Patti Smith und John Lennon, dessen ikonisches Bild mit Yoko Ono kurz vor seiner Ermordung festgehalten wurde. Die Porträts und Reportagen sind durch Bilder von Autos und kalifornischen Highwaypolizisten verbunden und bieten eine Hommage an die Anfangsjahre einer legendären Fotografin sowie eine Hymne an das Leben on the road mit seinem besonderen Rhythmus und meditativen Momenten.

“I don’t have two lives,” Annie Leibovitz writes in the Introduction to this collection of her work from 1990 to 2005. “This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all 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, and William Burroughs–appear alongside pictures of Leibovitz’s family and friends, reportage from the siege of Sarajevo in the early Nineties, and landscapes. The pictures form a narrative of a life rich 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 family. She has children of her own. All the while, she is working, and the public work resonates with the themes of the life.

The celebrated photographer turns her lens to a favorite topic, women, sharing her portraits of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Eudora Welty, Martina Navratilova, Jerry Hall, Jodie Foster, Rosie O'Donnell, a Navajo weaver, an architect, an astronaut, a rancher, a body builder, a soldier, and many others. 150,000 first printing. Tour.
