I was lucky enough to gain access to the private view this evening. Mann wasn't in the country for personal reasons, but it was busy none-the-less.
The images are powerful in much larger form, but they are so soft! The focus is just off from ideal which was disappointing for me - having seen Leibovitz work a while back, I guess I was spoilt by editorial/art sharpness versus Art where the concept is paramount.
Possibly its because she uses that kit to get the swirls, vignette, blur... but even the sharp images seemed a little out of focus. Maybe I'm expecting too much. It was still a good show, and nice to see the prints on display in the UK.
