Annie Leibovitz at Artemus Ham Hall

You know her photos, even if you don’t know you do. A Vegas showgirl, hands on hips, defiant. A trio of White House guards rolling up the red carpet after a resigning President Nixon. A naked John Lennon lying on a bed, curled around a clothed Yoko Ono. Demi Moore, also nude, seven months pregnant and photographed in demure profile. The 1975-era Rolling Stones, onstage and at their full power: Keith Richards a towering giant, Mick Jagger in flight. A bloodied bicycle, whose rider was killed by mortar fire in Sarajevo at the height of the Bosnian War. Artists Christo and Keith Haring, both cleverly camouflaged within their own artworks. The album covers: Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A., Cyndi Lauper’s She’s So Unusual, Patti Smith’s Gone Again.

The point is, since her early days as a Rolling Stone staff photographer in the 1970s, Annie Leibovitz has been a literal witness to history. And on April 3, as part of UNLV’s Barrick Lecture Series, she’ll let some of it spill out. April 3, 7:30 p.m., free but tickets required, visit unlv.edu/pac/tickets. –Geoff Carter
