W Magazine's Art Issue Tradition
Since 2006, W Magazine’s Art Issue has featured prominent cultural figures captured by contemporary artists. Past editions include Mickalene Thomas photographing Cardi B, Barbara Kruger incorporating text over a nude Kim Kardashian, and George Clooney merged into Yayoi Kusama's polka dot universe.
Unique Perspectives on Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence appeared before three artists, each offering a unique interpretation with separate covers. The project presented:
- Wolfgang Tillmans
