內容簡介
傳奇攝影師安妮‧萊柏維茲起源攝影展
回顧時代女性最動人的攝影源頭
半個世紀以來，安妮萊柏維茲的作品一直在攝影界有一定的文化意義。她所拍攝的名人肖像作品總能精準捕捉人物的性格和最私密的動人時刻，她所拍攝的對象包括政治家、表演藝術家、運動員、企業名人和皇室等，這些肖像足以構成時代的畫廊，也代表著她超凡及無與倫比的攝影風格。
這本攝影全集完整重現南法當代藝術實驗中心為安妮萊柏維茲所舉辦的攝影展覽作品，重返她最動人的攝影起源。這一切開始於一場藝術啟發，因為自發性地拍攝讓當時就讀舊金山藝術學院的萊柏維茲進而從畫家轉型為攝影師。作品透過她精心的細心策畫和精選作品，內容包括底片檔案和拍立得作品，展示了萊柏維茲在身為年輕藝術家時發展的關鍵時刻。
關於萊柏維茲的報導文學內容，收錄她加入《滾石雜誌》擔任全職攝影師的經歷，還有當時令人難以忘懷的重要時刻和非主流文化發展，例如反越戰遊行、阿波羅17號發射、1972年美國總統選舉、1974尼克森水門案下台，以及1975年滾石合唱團的瘋狂巡演。書中也收錄約翰‧藍儂被刺殺前與小野洋子深情相擁的時刻；巴布‧狄倫時而用雙手及墨鏡遮蓋臉部的經典畫面；路易‧阿姆斯壯在家忘情吹奏小號的場面，還有更多經典時刻等待讀者探索。

The Origins of a Legendary Photographer
Annie Leibovitz's photographic breakthrough and Rolling Stone reportage
For more than half a century, Annie Leibovitz has been taking culture-defining photographs. Her portraits of politicians, performers, athletes, businesspeople, and royalty make up a gallery of our time, imprinted on our collective consciousness by both the singularity of their subjects and Leibovitz's inimitable style.
The catalogue to an installation at the LUMA Foundation in Arles, Annie Leibovitz: The Early Years, 1970-1983 returns to Leibovitz's origins. It begins with a moment of artistic revelation: the spontaneous shot that made Leibovitz think she could transition from painting to photography as her area of study at the San Francisco Art Institute. The meticulously and personally curated collection, including contact sheets and Polaroids, provides a vivid document both of Leibovitz's development as a young artist and of a pivotal era.
Leibovitz's reportage-like photo stories for Rolling Stone, which she began working for when she was still a student, record such heady political, cultural, and counter-cultural developments as the Vietnam War protests, the launch of Apollo 17, the presidential campaign of 1972, Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974, and the Rolling Stones on tour in 1975. Then, as now, Leibovitz won the trust of the prominent and famous, and the book's pages are animated by many familiar faces, among them Muhammad Ali, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ken Kesey, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Didion, and Debbie Harry, as well as John Lennon and Yoko Ono, captured in their now iconic embrace just hours before Lennon was assassinated.

Throughout the book, the portraits and reportage are linked to images of cars, driving, and even a series on California highway patrolmen. In many ways, it's a celebration of life on the road--the frenetic rhythms, the chance encounters, the meditative opportunities. And with its rich archival aspects, it is also a tribute to an earlier time and a young photographer enmeshed in a culture that was itself in transition.
