Some of the greatest portrait photographs of the twentieth century were taken for, or published in, Vanity Fair. This remarkable selection of 150 classic images features works from the magazine’s first period (1913-1936), displayed for the first time with works from the contemporary Vanity Fair (1983-present).
This is the first exhibition to bring together rare vintage prints with contemporary classics from Vanity Fair and the legendary Condé Nast Archive. It offers an incredible photographic history of celebrity portraiture, including the works of the greatest names in photography, from Edward Steichen and Cecil Beaton to Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino.
