A Family Album of Our Time.

For more than four decades, Annie Leibovitz has photographed the people who became part of our collective memory.

Musicians. Artists. Actors. Writers. Politicians. Performers. Cultural icons. Some of the photographs became nearly as famous as the people in them: John Lennon wrapped around Yoko Ono, the Blues Brothers painted blue, Whoopi Goldberg submerged in a bath of milk. Others capture quieter, stranger, more revealing moments.

Together, they become something larger than a collection of portraits.

Beginning with the visceral photojournalism Leibovitz made for Rolling Stone in the 1970s and moving through the elaborate, conceptual portraiture of her years at Vanity Fair and Vogue, this monumental volume brings together more than 40 years of work selected by Leibovitz herself.

And monumental is not an exaggeration. At nearly 13 pounds and 560 pages, this XXL hardcover arrives in a slipcase and measures almost 15 inches tall. It is a book designed to be experienced at scale, giving the photographs the space they deserve.

What makes Leibovitz extraordinary isn't simply who stood in front of her camera. It's what she managed to see in them.

A portrait of the people who shaped the culture, by the photographer who helped shape how we remember them.
