FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913–2008
Opening October 26, 2008 at LACMA
As the line between photography and celebrity becomes increasingly blurred, this exhibition takes us back to one of the places the two first mingled—in the pages of Vanity Fair magazine. From rare vintage prints from the early twentieth century to today’s most provocative portraits, the power of the image is explored in LACMA’s must-see exhibition.
