Thumbs up Vanity Fair Portraits in LA October 2008 to March 2009
Never to early to plan a visit to LACMA, right?

Ya'll know I love classic photographs and what could be better than a mixture of Steichen, Lebowitz, Baron Adolf DeMeyer, Hurrell and many more.

One of my favorite shots of Gloria Swanson by Steichen
(Yes, I just ordered this catalogue, must have)

Josephine Baker by George Hoyningen-Huene

Connery and Caine by O'Neill

Quote:
Vanity Fair Portraits traces the cultural history of twentieth century portrait photography and celebrates the acknowledged masters of this great art form, from Edward Steichen and Cecil Beaton to Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino. The catalogue sets out the two eras of Vanity Fair's life. The first period from 1913 to 1936 covers subjects drawn from art, dance, music, film and architecture including personalities such as Pablo Picasso, Fred and Adele Astaire, Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. The second period-from the reincarnation of the magazine in 1983 up to the present day-includes stars of film and theatre as well as writers, athletes, style icons, and business titans with portraits of Robert De Niro, Arthur Miller, Demi Moore, Margaret Thatcher and Lance Armstrong amongst many others.

Later this year it will move to California, where it will appear at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from October 26, 2008, to March 1, 2009.

Fantastic! I have to say that, since visiting the National Portrait Gallery I've been really impressed with their shows. I can't wait to this one to come to LACMA.

Speaking of LACMA, they've just opened a brand new contemporary art facility, BCAM. So this makes 2 LACMA swanking that need to be planned.
