In this retrospective Liberman offers a selection of his photographs ranging from the portraits taken in the ’20s – when he was a Russian exile in Europe – to the present, now that he is an American citizen.
A sculptor and painter, he started photographing his family and friends when only a boy, and continued with happy images of rich, cultivated lives: Chanel at home, Jasper Johns cooking, Irving Penn on the floor playing with his son, Horowitz miming a performance, and many more.
His favourite subjects were his friends and relatives, but also key personalities from the social and cultural history of the century: painters, sculptors, stylists, the great world of Art.
