I’ve marked my calendar for Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008, presented by the Institute of Contemporary Culture (ICC) at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) from September 26, 2009 to January 3, 2010. Showcasing 150 portraits, the exhibition covers both vintage, classic images from Vanity Fair’s early period - Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo - and modern photographs since the magazine’s re-launch in 1983 - Demi Moore and Tom Cruise. This will be the exhibitions first showing in Eastern North America – It has brought together record-breaking attendance in Europe. More Information: HERE!
