Question

retrospective A retrospective covering the photographer's entire career is forcing critics to revise their earlier estimates of her status as an artist. ˌrɛtrəˈspɛktɪv

Accepted Answer

A generally comprehensive exhibition or performance usually covering an artist's output to date. Retrospective is partly rooted in the Latin verb specere, “to look,” so a retrospective is a look back at an artist's career. The subject of a retrospective is usually an older living artist, or one who has recently died. Galleries and museums honor painters and sculptors, film festivals honor directors and actors, and concert organizations honor composers. Retrospectives can be difficult and expensive to assemble, so they're rarely put together except for deserving artists; the result is that they frequently win many new fans for the person's achievement
