Annie Leibovitz

give me a SUMO, please /  by Richard

If you like to give me a gift and the Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès' is too expensive for you, or you just don’t like me that much.

I suggest the forthcoming Annie Leibovitz new SUMO-sized book by Taschen. As Annie says 'It’s not really a book. It sits on a stand! It’s over 40 years of work, starting with the viscerally intimate reportage she created for Rolling Stone magazine in the 1970s and extending through the more stylized portraiture of her work for Vanity Fair and Vogue.

The Leibovitz collection will be limited to a total of 10,000 signed and numbered copies produced with four different dust jackets.

Annie Leibovitz’s house /  by Richard

If you like to get a nice house on Manhattan with some cultural feelings and are willing to spend $ 30 million, well purchase Annie’s house. Anna-Lou "Annie" Leibovitz is one of the best American portrait photographer ever. 

Sadly, she is selling her highly personalized West Village compound she created for herself, her family, and her photography. 

The 10,000-square-foot home, which was originally listed in December, is comprised of three townhouses at the corner of New York's West 11th and Greenwich streets and surrounded by a private garden. Leibovitz bought the first two homes in 2002 and the third a year later. Since then, she's renovated and connected all three homes, which have seven bedrooms and 13 wood-burning fireplaces among them. Two of them now serve as living quarters; the third hosts a photo studio with its own kitchen and reception area.

When I lived and works as a photographer in NY, I lived at the next intersection on Bank St., 100 m away.
