This past week we were fortunate to have one of the most talented portrait photographers of the 20^th century visit the Farnsworth House for a shoot.

Ms. Annie Leibovitz spent three hours in perfect morning light taking-in Mies’ work through a variety of lenses hoping to capture the perfect photo to go in her upcoming book Pilgrimage due out this fall.

We are honored to be among the many treasures she chose to reveal as “inspiration” in her book.

Farnsworth House Executive Director Whitney French posed with Annie Leibovitz on her visit.
