Overview

At Twelve is a composite portrait that is both universal and intimately personal. As Ann Beattie writes in her perceptive introduction, These girls still exist in an innocent world in which a pose is only a pose--what adults make of that pose may be the issue. Sally Mann's work is in the collections of major museums across the country. Haunting black-and-white studies of children, shown here as surprisingly sensual and often distant beings, the magical keepers of some obscure and vaguely frightening secrets. --Karen Lipson, Newsday

Haunting black-and-white studies of children, shown here as surprisingly sensual and often distant beings, the magical keepers of some obscure and vaguely frightening secrets. --Karen Lipson, Newsday <br> Sally Mann's photography is a clear pane...not intrusion, but revelation. These young women distill something for the eye...something beautiful and sad and moving, something purely female. --Diane Sawyer <br> Sally Mann is the real thing. Just look at these photographs! At Twelve is an American classic. --Annie Dillard<br>
