Women: New Portraits
Over four and a half decades, Annie Leibovitz has refined the art of portraiture in images that are profound, provocative, and revelatory of the times we live in. Her photographs for Vogue and Vanity Fair, and for books and exhibitions, have brought us an extraordinary range of subjects from the most celebrated to the most humble. In Women, an exhibition that opened at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, 16 years ago, Leibovitz’s lens captured female Supreme Court justices, senators, artists, athletes, maids, mothers, businesswomen, comedians, actors, architects, and soldiers.
Amplifying that phenomenal body of work, Leibovitz, with the commissioning partner UBS, presents the 2016 traveling exhibition, Women: New Portraits. Ten cities—London, Tokyo, San Francisco, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Istanbul, Frankfurt, New York, and Zurich—are hosting the photographer’s response to changes in the roles of women, presenting images from the original project alongside recent subjects, all of whom touch our lives today.
Women: New Portraits will be on view at The Presidio’s Crissy Field, San Francisco, on March 25 through April 17.
