LONDON— The auction house Phillips de Pury & Co. has announced that it will be photographer Annie Leibovitz's exclusive international representative. The new arrangement will involve the production and sale of the "Annie Leibovitz Master Set," featuring some 200 images. Among them are iconic portraits of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Patti Smith, Susan Sontag, Mick Jagger, Louise Bourgeois, and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

The partnership kicks off with a selling exhibition of 24 works, on view October 23 through November 17 in Phillips's London offices. Each will be available in an edition of 7, with prices starting at £20,000 ($37,200). The show is timed to run concurrently with the survey "Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005," on view at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Leibovitz was previously represented by Edwynn Houk Gallery in New York, which had no comment about the move, according to Artnet. Phillips also represents the estate of French photographer Guy Bourdin and has mounted shows of works by Mario Testino.
