“I don’t have two lives,” Annie Leibovitz writes in the
Introduction to this collection of her work from 1990—2005.
“This is one life, and the personal pictures and the
assignment work are all part of it.” Portraits of well-known
figures–Johnny Cash, Nicole Kidman, Mikhail Baryshnikov,
Keith Richards, Michael Jordan, Joan Didion, R2-D2, Patti
Smith, Nelson Mandela, Jack Nicholson, William Burroughs,
George W. Bush with members of his Cabinet–appear alongside
pictures of Leibovitz’s family and friends, reportage from
the siege of Sarajevo in the early Nineties, and landscapes
made even more indelible through Leibovitz’s discerning eye.
The images form a narrative rich in contrasts and
continuities: The photographer has a long relationship that
ends with illness and death. She chronicles the celebrations
and heartbreaks of her large and robust family. She has
children of her own. All the while she is working, and the
public work resonates with the themes of her life.
