In this new collection, Leibovitz captured the most influential and compelling figures of the preceding decade. Her style has made her one of the most beloved talents of our time.
Iconic portraits appear alongside never-before-published photographs. Each image documents contemporary culture, while Leibovitz portrays some of its most recognizable figures with humor and brilliance.
From Nicole Kidman and Natalia Vodianova to Jeff Koons, Cate Blanchett, and Rihanna, countless personalities from different artistic circles posed for Annie Leibovitz, a photographer who, "in all her perfectionism and inspiration, is willing to become completely immersed in the subject’s entourage" (Cees Visser, 2008).
To celebrate an extraordinary career spanning nearly fifty years, Annie Leibovitz published the third volume of her retrospective series with Phaidon. Following 1970–1990 and 1990–2005 (a New York Times bestseller), the productive years from 2005–2016 are the subject of this exceptional third volume, comprising 150 color and black-and-white portraits. Together, her images create a unique portrait of an era.
