Join us for the opening celebration of ANNIE LEIBOVITZ / WORK, a member-only invitation event showcasing a fresh series of photographs that illuminate current events and the remarkable individuals shaping today’s world. Alongside these new works, attendees will also experience a curated selection of Leibovitz’s iconic images from the past decade. Spanning both traditional print and digital platforms, the exhibition offers a vibrant insight into the artist’s contemporary perspective and creative direction. Whether capturing household names or unsung heroes, Leibovitz’s photographs embody her keen vision and dedication to celebrating the extraordinary moments of our time. With a career spanning more than five decades, during which she’s captured some of the most influential figures in entertainment, politics, business, and sports, Leibovitz has established herself as a keen observer of society. Notably, in 1991, she made history as the first female artist to hold a solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
ANNIE LEIBOVITZ / WORK is organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas.
