An Evening with Walter Iooss (11/14)


Walter Iooss on Charlie Rose, 1999

On November 14, the Annenberg Space for Photography will offer a special Saturday night lecture by Walter Iooss, one of the photographers featured in the upcoming exhibit SPORT: Iooss & Leifer.

Walter Iooss is best known for his nearly 300 Sports Illustrated covers, as well as his portraits of famous athletes like Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey, Jr., Brett Favre, Joe Montana and Wayne Gretzky. In his career, Iooss has covered virtually every major sports event, including all 43 Super Bowls, and has also photographed performers like the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin while working as an in-house photographer for Atlantic Records.


RSVP here. They released tickets in two waves. The first was just on Friday (11/6) and the next one is Monday (11/9) at 9:30 am. And of course there is a stand by list which will open 10 minutes before the lecture starts.

A few days before this lecture, Anneberg Space for Photography presents their next exhibition "Sports : Iooss & Leifer" opens on November 12th. It opens on the 14th.

Saturday, November 14th 6:30-8:00 pm

Annenberg Space for Photography

UPDATE : By now I assume the event is completely booked so your best bet is stand-by. They usually start releasing seats about 10 minutes before it begins.
