(Martha Stewart did the same thing to an architecturally significant classic modernist 1960's house on Georgica Pond in East Hampton. Denied permission to demolish it, she had it structurally damaged intentionally to make it beyond saving.)
Don't feel sorry for Liebovitz in the slightest. Her not paying her vendors and assistants is not excusable. She's someone who really thinks she's above such trifles as paying the army of little people who work for her to take those tired, hacky clichèd pictures of hers. And contrary to some speculation that Sontag's
bequeathals caused her financial distress (in the absence of same-sex marriage laws), this is not the case- she herself has said so, and in any case Sontag and she were no longer a couple at the former's death.
Ask David Rieff (Sontag's son) what he thinks of Liebovitz. Not a nice person.

Oh, and Liebovitz raped me once. On the little bed in Joe Franklin's office.

"Demolition by neglect" sounds about right.

What is sad is she has an 8-year-old and 3-year-old twins.

The news a few weeks ago mentioned the inherited property. Now there is this reference to the building next door. It sounds like she now owns a lot of real estate that is declining in value and she has no cash to pay debts. It blows.

It happens. People in Leibovitz' position often choose their business managers through emotion or simple convenience rather than reason and planning. Think of her decision as comparable to many people's 401(k) account allocations, but with much more immediate consequences.

If you think a certain amount of well-earned arrogance fits well with the artistic temperament, then more artists should really consider their choice of business manager crucial, shouldn't they?
