LEIBOVITZ, Annie

Annie Leibovitz Photographs

LEIBOVITZ, Annie. Annie Leibovitz Photographs. New York: Pantheon/Rolling Stone, (1983). Quarto, original gray cloth, original photographic dust jacket. $850. First edition of Leibovitz's first photobook collection, a rare presentation/association copy, twice inscribed by her, first on the half title, "Annie Leibovitz 3/29/85, Dallas," and again on the title page, "For Laura—Thank you for all the Southern hospitality—I can't tell you what a wonderful time I had—XXX Annie," featuring 69 vivid, full-color and black-and-white celebrity portraits. The indelible imagery of Annie Leibovitz has freshly defined celebrity photography with its "admission that there can be no such thing as privacy in a culture of high publicity" (Photobook, 266). "There is something about Annie Leibovitz that inspires people to reveal themselves… Here is arresting proof of the way Leibovitz has revitalized the portrait to illuminate the less obvious side of people… [exploring] what Tom Wolfe, in his splendid introduction, calls the 'raw vital proles' beneath" (New York Times). This rare presentation/association copy warmly inscribed by Leibovitz to Dallas gallery owner Laura Carpenter on both the half title and title page, with Carpenter's gallery label on the front free endpaper. A fine copy.
