Seems like everyone is picking apart Annie Leibovitz these days. I, for one, have a great love and appreciation for her work. I don't think it's overrated and I don't think her massive financial woes are solely a symptom of poor money management. Annie's an artist. And that means she's kinda weird and intense.
When I think of Annie Leibovitz, the name alone instantly brings to mind dozens of iconographic photos the world has come to recognize and love. How, then, could such an influential and significant photographer reportedly be in debt $24 million? We know the economy is tough, but this issue is far more deeply rooted than a few bad investments. We're not excusing excessive real estate purchases, but Annie’s money woes rip to the heart of an artist’s temperament and years of personal and artistic challenge.
There's an great article in NY Mag on this here. I spent way too long reading it today.
