Taylor and Adele portraits in museum
As apart of Annie Leibovitz's "Women" exhibit displaying powerful women which will be featured in 10 different museums around the world
Quote:
London is the first stop on a 10-city world tour for the new incarnation of “Women,” a series that Leibovitz created in 1999 for an exhibition and book. She will add to the new series as it goes, compiling some 50 portraits in total by the time the show reaches Zurich at the end of this year. The project’s original aim was to depict womanhood in its many forms — unrestricted by age or accepted beauty norms — and to portray women as men had traditionally been photographed, in their professional roles, and at all stages of life. The new series extends the theme, celebrating a new generation and the transformations it has wrought.
When asked why, given free rein, she chose to revisit this project, Leibovitz responded plainly: “As soon as you put something to bed like the ‘Women’ book, you’re never finished. There were portraits of people that I wanted to photograph — it’s an endless subject.” She paused, adding: “One of the great things about being an older person is that I am very aware of the scope of the work and the historical sense of it. It’s bigger than me.”
