This collectible hardback, encased in a sturdy cardboard slip-sleeve is a fascinating document of one of the most influential portrait photographers in recent history, as well as an intimate and fun showcase of celebrities’ personalities. Annie Leibovitz personally selected these iconic images from a career spanning over 40 years. Initially collected for Taschen’s SUMO-sized book, the same imagery is now presented in this accessible XXL book format, which features everything from Leibovitz’s early photojournalism for Rolling Stone magazine in the 1970s to portraits of the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, John Lennon and Yoko Ono (just before John was shot), Michael Jackson, Richard Nixon, Patti Smith, Elton John and Lady Gaga for publications such as Vanity Fair and Vogue. Authored by Annie Leibovitz, Steve Martin, Graydon Carter, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Paul Roth, this is an incredible insight into Leibovitz’s work as well as a celebration of celebrity and political culture.
