If you went gaga over the shot of George Clooney spotted by Yayoi Kusama on the cover of W Magazine’s December Art Issue, have we got a pick for you this week.
The print is now for sale, thanks to a partnership between W and Artsy to exclusively retail limited-edition prints of images in the issue, which include works by not just Kusama, but also Tracey Emin, Catherine Opie, Marilyn Minter, Karen Kilimnik, Lorna Simpson, and Michael Thompson.
“We chose George Clooney as the focus of this issue, because he is Hollywood’s favorite leading man; and who better to interpret him than five of the preeminent female artists working today,” said Caroline Wolff, photography director at W.
The graphic black-and-white portraits of Clooney and of Adepero Oduye, the rising star in artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen’s recently released feature film, 12 Years a Slave, as well as Thompson’s vibrant fashion photographs, focusing on the masks of Jean Paul Gaultier, are sure to make great gifts this holiday too, for either yourself or a loved one.
Perhaps the best gift of all: All proceeds from this sale will benefit Save the Children’s Typhoon Haiyan Relief. Each print will also be signed and numbered.
