“Annie Leibovitz 1995,” a collection of works by American photographer Annie Leibovitz (1949–). While attending art school in San Francisco, she submitted her work to *Rolling Stone* magazine, where she was spotted by Editor-in-Chief Jan Wenner and immediately brought to New York. Her interview photos of John Lennon, taken there, earned her recognition; she joined the magazine’s staff in 1970 and became its chief photographer in 1973. In 1980, just hours after she photographed Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lennon was assassinated; the images she captured at that time were featured on the magazine’s cover and became part of a memorial issue dedicated to Lennon. This book is a catalog published to coincide with an exhibition in Japan that began at the Mitsukoshi Art Museum in Tokyo in 1995 and toured to Sendai, Yokohama, and Osaka; it features numerous portraits of prominent figures and celebrities from various fields.
