Beauty CULTure – Annenberg Photo Exhibit

This collection of stirring photos feature Hilary Swank, models like Alex Wek and 60s-icon Twiggy, and other familiar faces in bold images chronicling the conceits and confections that create the myth of beauty in our culture.

Works shot by famed photographers David LaChapelle, Jean-Paul Goude, Gilles Bensimon, Terry Richardson, and others, explore how our culture has defined, challenged, and crafted feminine beauty.

In addition to over 170 photographs featured in the print gallery, BEAUTY CULTURE showcases hundreds of digital images in vivid detail on high-resolution screens in the Digital Gallery.  The Digital Gallery also includes a short documentary film that expands upon the print exhibition’s themes, featuring interviews with well-known photographers, models, historians and beauty experts who guide visitors on a fascinating photographic exploration of the culture – and cult – of beauty.

The exhibit, "Beauty CULTure" isat Annenberg Space for Photography, 2000 Avenue of the Stars, Century City, CA 90067, through November 27, 2011.
