Annie Leibovitz 'signs debt deal'
Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz has done a deal with Colony Capital to clear her huge debts, it is reported.The US private equity firm will become Ms Leibovitz's sole creditor, in a deal that helps her retain the rights to her pictures, the Financial Times said. Ms Leibovitz, whose images include a Vanity Fair cover of a nude and pregnant Demi Moore, had fallen behind on repayment of a $24m (£16m) loan. She owed the money to Art Capital, which sued the photographer last year. Ms Leibovitz said the Colony deal would preserve her archive and artistic freedom. Hollywood stars"We will be partners in managing her assets and her business so that Annie can spend her time and focus in pursuing her passion as only she can do," Tom Barrack, founder of Colony, was quoted in the FT. Ms Leibovitz, 60, will retain rights to more than 100,000 photographs and one million negatives. For four decades she has been photographing pop stars, Hollywood icons, royalty and government leaders. But her rights to this archive, and ownership of a string of properties, were at risk after she fell behind on payments to Art Capital, a financial firm specialising in working with artists. She had sought the loan from Art Capital after facing financial difficulties. The money was secured against her archive and properties. Ms Leibovitz praised Colony - normally known for its property investments - as "a dedicated and creative team". "We will be working on new projects and I will have the support and freedom necessary for nurturing my work and preserving my archive," she told the FT. Two immediate projects Colony is considering are a travelling exhibition of her work and fine art books of her photographs.
