Leibovitz was a selected in recognition for her 40 years of iconic work, which has included some of the most memorable, provocative and moving works, making her arguably the most well-known living artist in the photographic medium.
Of being recognized by the Women of Distinction Series, Leibovitz said, “Georgia O’Keeffe was one of the first artists I was aware of as a young person. Alfred Stieglitz’s photographs of O’Keeffe are especially important to me. They are some of the greatest portraits ever made. But it is O’Keeffe’s example as a working artist that makes her such an inspirational figure to so many of us. She set off on her own, did her own work. I’m honored to receive this award from the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.”
At the March event, Leibovitz will take those in attendance on a journey through some of her most famous photographs.
Richard B. Stolley, who has edited several photographic histories as a senior editorial advisor at Time Inc., will lead the event in a question-and-answer format with Leibovitz.
Annie Leibovitz began her career as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone in 1970 while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her pictures have appeared regularly on magazine covers ever since, and her large and distinguished body of work encompasses some of the most well-known portraits of our time.
