Annie Leibovitz is undoubtedly one of the worlds most sought after photographers, with a truly remarkable photographic oeuvre. Having toured through Europe and the US, Annie Leibovtiz: A Photographers Life 1990 - 2005 now makes its presence felt at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia.
Having opened on the 19th November, it is estimated that the Museum in Sydney will see large crowds, as the exhibition will attract everyone from critics and hardcore collectors through to photography fans and art-lovers.
Around 200 images form the core of the show, pulling together Leibovitz's portraits of famous people as well as very personal photographs of her family and friends. The exhibition is arranged chronologically so that the audience can gather a sense of narrative from the photographers life and work. On one hand you may see images of Leibovtiz's children on vacation or pictures of her parents, next to photographs of people like Al Pacino, Brad Pitt or Cindy Sherman.
Leibovitz has made a very successful career from photography; from the early 70's when her work appeared in Rolling Stone magazine, right through to working for Vanity Fair, Vogue and advertisting campaigns such as Gap and American Express.
All in all, Annie Leibovitz: A Photographers Life should make a great addition to the exhibition schedule at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, offering the Australian audience the chance to view some truly world class photographic works.
