The Ultimate Coffee Table Book: Annie’s Big Book
Words: Violet
To have a persons life work brought together in one book is always a treat. When that person is world renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz, well, everyone should be getting that bit more excited. This SUMO-sized book, published by Taschen, is a visual powerhouse. Taking several years to develop, Leibovitz drew on 40 years of work from stylish portraiture in Vanity Fair and Vogue to more intimate reportage in Rolling Stone magazine.
Annie Leibovitz’s style is instantly recognisable – intimate and iconic – her photography captures something in the subject that the viewer won’t have seen before. This extraordinary book collects many of these iconic portraits of actors, dancers, comedians, musicians, artists, writers, performance artists, journalists, athletes and business people, spanning from the very famous to ones that might never have been seen before.
The buyer can choose from four different covers; David Byrne, Keith Herring, Patti Smith and Whoopi Goldberg.
