N.S. Art Gallery says exhibit of Leibovitz portraits now up to photographer
HALIFAX — It’s all up to Annie Leibovitz now.
Unless the famed American photographer personally signs off on an exhibit to display her iconic portraits, they will remain in storage at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
“The gallery can not show the work without her permission,” Halifax gallery spokesman Colin Stinson said in an email Thursday, noting that although the gallery owns all the pieces, Leibovitz maintains the copyright.
“Our first step in the process will be to work with the artist to determine the best path forward,” he said.
