New Work by World-Renowned Photographer Annie Leibovitz
To Be Featured at the Concord Museum
in
Collaboration with Louisa
May Alcott’s Orchard House
Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage charts a new direction
for
one of America’s
best- known living photographers. Unlike her staged and carefully lit
portraits made on
assignment
for
magazines
and advertising clients, the
photographs in this exhibition were taken simply
because Leibovitz
was moved by the subject. The images speak in a
commonplace language to the
photographer’s curiosity about the
world she inherited,
spanning landscapes both dramatic and
quiet, interiors of living
rooms and bedrooms, and
objects that are talismans
of past lives. The exhibition,
which includes approximately 70 photographs
taken
between
April 2009 and May 2011—nine of them taken
in Concord, Massachusetts—will
be on view at the Concord
Museum from June 28 through September 23, 2012. The show
is being presented
in collaboration with Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House. Concord
is the first stop on a national
tour, following the exhibition’s presentation
at the Smithsonian American
Art
Museum from January to
May
2012.
Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage is organized
by
the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Bernie Stadiem
Endowment Fund provided support for the exhibition.
The C.F. Foundation
of Atlanta supports the museum’s traveling exhibition
program, Treasures to Go.
The prints were made by David
Adamson
of Adamson Editions in Washington,
D.C.
