Annie Liebovitz

I'm not a huge fan of Annie Liebovitz. Her images are striking but they mostly leave me cold - and if I never see the pregnant Demi Moore photo again I'll be very happy. The photos in this show date from 1990 onwards and include celebrity shots (a young Brad, that Demi Moore, Daniel Day Lewis looking like he belongs in the 19th century), snaps of family (with some very disconcerting pictures of Susan Sontag's cancer treatment and death) and a handful of landscapes (mostly unimpressive, which takes some doing when you're talking about Monument Valley) The most engaging photos are those of Annie Liebovitz's children, especially young Sarah who's a contender for the cutest baby ever.
