A photographer
who snares headlines in her own right for securing access to
the world’s most sought after celebrities – such as Tom Cruise
and Katie Holmes’s baby Suri for the September issue of "Vanity
Fair," Annie Leibovitz has now drawn the attention of the
Brooklyn Museum, which opened an exhibition of 200 of her photographs
on Friday.
"Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990-2005"
remains on view through Jan. 21, 2007 and includes full-on glamour
shots such as this 2003 portrait of actress Nicole Kidman (pictured),
taken for "Vogue," as well as personal photographs
of Leibovitz’s family and friends and her reportage from the
early 1990s siege of Sarajevo.
Leibovitz will be honored by the museum’s "Women in Arts"
program on Nov. 8 at 11 am, which is a fundraiser to benefit
the museum’s programs. Tickets to this event, which include admission
and parking, are $125-$1,500. For more information, call the
Community Committee at (718) 789-2493.
"Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990-2005"
