Leibovitz Exhibit Ranges From Royal To Personal

Three official portraits of Queen Elizabeth II will be displayed alongside Annie Leibovitz's signature celebrity photography in a 15-year retrospective exhibition of her work on display at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.

The Corcoran is the third of seven stops for the show titled "Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005" and the first gallery to include the queen's portraits, which were commissioned to mark her visit to the United States in May.

The exhibit -- a companion to the book of the same name -- includes 200 photographs that set recognizable high-fashion magazine portraits against a backdrop of reportage photography and personal snapshots.
