Renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz's work is coming to the Mint Museum Uptown this spring.
Why it matters: "Annie Leibovitz/Work" is a massive get for the Mint Museum, which will be the third venue to host the exhibition. It's perhaps the biggest exhibit to make its way to the museum since "Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds."
What to expect: "Annie Leibovitz/Work" opens April 27 and will be on view until Aug. 31.
- The exhibit will show new and rarely seen photographs, including portraits of major figures in American culture.
- Her work will be displayed both as prints on paper and through digital tower displays.
Context: Leibovitz, the former "Rolling Stone" magazine's chief photographer who was named a living legend by the Library of Congress, has photographed royalty, professional athletes, politicians, musicians and movie stars over the last 50 years.
- Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, organized the exhibit and was its first stop.
- Even if photography isn't your thing, you should enjoy this show, Axios NW Arkansas' Worth Sparkman wrote.
What they're saying: "What this show illustrates is that not only has Leibovitz documented popular culture in this country for 50 years, but her images have also defined what we expect that (culture) to look like," Jen Sudul Edwards, chief curator and curator of contemporary art at the Mint Museum, said in a statement.
If you go: Tickets for the exhibit are $25 for adults, $20 for people 65+ and college students with ID. It's $10 for museum members. Ages 18 and under get in free.
