Annie Leibovitz’s Debut Hong Kong Solo Exhibit @ Sundaram Tagore
In 1980, Annie Leibovitz photographed John Lennon, au naturel, cuddling up to Yoko Ono for the cover of Rolling Stone. The idea was to recreate the passionate kissing scene from the cover of Double Fantasy, an album the couple had recently worked on. A few hours after the photo shoot, Lennon got shot again – only this time, he got shot by a mentally ill person with a gun, not a photographer with a camera. The dramatic event changed the story of the Rolling Stone cover shoot: “It became more about a last kiss, a parting moment,” said Leibovitz.
