Wexner Visit

     My experience at the Wexner Center was very enjoyable.  This was my second time visiting the Wex and I could not have had a more pleasant experience. One of the curators was very eager to talk to me about Annie Leibovitz’s work. She at first approached me with a pamphlet explaining one room of the exhibit. When I went to give her the pamphlet back she asked me if I had seen the house wives exhibit yet, because it was one of her favorites. I told her I had not so she took me to look at it.  After giving me the history of the piece it became one of my favorites too. I liked how Annie had them looking plain on one wall and dressed up on the other. After showing me this piece the curator then took me to see some more of her favorites. The curator was very friendly and informative and even told me about one of Annie’s friends who had passed away. This friend was the subject of a lot of Annie’s work.
 
      Annie Leibovitz’s artwork was entertaining to look at. I liked that she used famous people as the center of most of her pieces. I feel like that draws a huge audience in because it helps when people know what they are looking at. I also liked how none of her pieces were just normal photography but people in their environments or in abstract positions. Annie Leibovitz artwork was definitely different than anything I have seen before.
