Yay, a new Annie Leibovitz show in DC! Her exhibit “Pilgrimage” has gone on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and will be up through May 20.

Most people have seen a Leibovitz photograph whether they realize it or not – she’s most well known for her  highly produced, powerful portraits of movie stars, musicians and politicians. This new body of work diverges in that it there are no people present in the photos, yet she still seems to be making portraits. Among the images are photographs of the gloves of Abraham Lincoln, Ansel Adams’ darkroom and Elvis Presley’s motorcycle.

Hope to make this one, Leibovitz is a favorite of mine.  If anyone has seen the show, please leave your thoughts in the comments!
