More than 60 of the most famous faces in the world will hang out at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York this winter.
Pablo Picasso (above), Truman Capote, Janis Joplin and dozens of others populate "Close Encounters: Irving Penn's Portraits of Artists and Writers," a retrospective of the photographer's career that opens Friday.
Penn, 90, whose work has appeared in Vogue magazine and elsewhere, is known for his incisive, spare portraits. The master artist, Picasso (1957), peers at the camera out of one eye. The show, which spans six decades, runs though April 13. (212) 685-0008, www.themorgan.org.
