The Show
150 remarkable and memorable photographic portraits from Vanity Fair magazine, that unique barometer of the modern age. Vintage works from Vanity Fair’s classic period (1913-36) are displayed alongside stunning photographs featured in the current-day magazine, now celebrating its 25th anniversary.
The sitters include some of the most influential individuals of the modern age, ranging from Claude Monet to Arthur Miller, Katharine Hepburn to David Hockney and Jesse Owens to Julia Roberts.
These portraits truly are works of art, created by many of the greatest photographers of all time, including Cecil Beaton, Edward Steichen, Man Ray, Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino.
