Book Description
Showcasing twenty-five years of iconic art, fashion, and design content from renowned New York–based publication Visionaire. A publishing experiment that began in 1991, Visionaire has taken the shape of everything from a leather-bound portfolio to 12-inch vinyl records to a collection of dolls. With intimate reflections by contributors, a prized collection of nearly 450 images selected from sixty-five issues produced by an astounding cast of artists, photographers, and designers, this book delivers a rich panorama of two decades of media and fashion revolution from the perspective of independent publishing. Original commentary by cofounders Cecilia Dean and James Kaliardos provides unprecedented access to a pivotal New York scene and the creative life behind Visionaire as it shaped the fashion zeitgeist, propelling emerging voices and exceptional content while challenging the limits of print media. This volume is an essential piece of contemporary fashion and media history that traces the shape of things to come. Visionaire contributors include photographers Bruce Weber, Inez & Vinoodh, Mario Sorrenti, Mert and Marcus, Steven Klein, and Steven Meisel; artists Alex Katz, John Baldessari, KAWS, Marina Abramovic, and Yoko Ono; designers Karl Lagerfeld, Rei Kawakubo, and Riccardo Tisci; pop icons Bjork, David Bowie, Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus; and many more. Art and fashion connoisseurs and anyone interested in media, design, and culture will find this landmark volume indispensable.

Book Description
"No designer draws on religious themes to quite such glorious effect as Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci. Thus, it made perfect sense that Tisci came on board to guest-edit Visionaire’s 60th issue, Religion. Housed inside a distressed wood case lined in black Plexiglas, a book of images revealed Tisci’s world and the inspiration behind his work. Naturally, the works were loaded with symbolism, like a photo of Tisci suckling at the teat of Marina Abramovic — an image the performance artist says echoed the relationship between art and fashion. “When Riccardo was asked who I wanted to collaborate with,” Abramovic recalls, “I said the only thing I want is to collaborate with you. That was my ultimatum. I said to him, This is the situation: do you admit that fashion is inspired by art? Well I am the art, you are the fashion, now suck my tits! He’s very shy, so it took him a while to come around. But he did. During the shoot, I wanted to be in a state of mind as if I were delivering the emotions of the artist whose work is being used as inspiration—luminous yet strong. Art is giving. Art is nourishing. Art is oxygen to society. I was thinking what the title would be, and I thought of The Contract.” For Tisci, it was an opportunity to meditate on his past and present. “Visionaire was a truly important moment of reflection for me,” he says. “This collection of work celebrates inner truths, inner dialogues, and moments which words cannot quantify""--Publisher's description.

Book Description
In Visionaire No. 51: Harmony, works by leading artists--including Maurizio Cattelan, Robert Wilson, Yayoi Kusama, Vik Muniz, Massimo Vitali and Richard Misrach--are presented in the form of six large-scale puzzles. Each puzzle consists of 25 pieces that combine to create one complete image nearly three feet square. The puzzles can be pieced together separately so that each forms one artist's vision, or they can be combined to create other unexpected images. How will you create your Harmony? In collaboration with Lexus, and in celebration of the LS600h Hybrid, Visionaire No. 51 is environmentally sensitive. The puzzles are made from partially recycled paper, non-toxic inks and chlorine free materials. They were fabricated at environmentally sustainable factories that recycle all byproducts, including heat generated during production. Each set of six puzzles comes packaged in a slick, 8x8-inch embossed cube. Available in black or silver.

Book Description
"After tackling scent with issue 42, Visionaire again teamed up with IFF to push the boundaries of TASTE, which proved to be no easy task. As Cecilia Dean explains, "It was one of the most difficult issues editorially, because many visual artists had a difficult time thinking in terms of taste." Still, others delighted in testing the limits of IFF's crack team of flavorists. Jenny Holzer, for example, hoped to stump them by suggesting metal and jet fuel as the flavor of adrenaline, though ultimately IFF prevailed and a flavor was born, matched with one of Holzer's signature text pieces. Dispensed in convenient, self-dissolving flavor strips (so one couldn't spit it out!), the resulting series of tastes ran the gamut, including everything from mother's milk (Yoko Ono) and mint lemonade (Karen Kilimnik) to glue sticks (Thomas Demand) and a rare gourmet pine nut (by famed chef Ferran Adrià). Bruce Weber's photograph of a young boy (paired with the flavor of cherry licorice) reminded readers of the associative power of taste, which IFF president Nicolas Mirzayantz knew about all along. "We knew we were connecting with people in a deep-seated way," he says. "There is something so primitive and primal about taste, which is why we saw such a strong, emotional response from people"--Publisher's description.

Book Description
"Several years before issue 58 came to be, Alexander "Lee" McQueen came to the Visionaire office to discuss collaborating on an issue that ultimately never happened. One day, the staff was discussing a potential issue printed on seeded paper, and the next day, news came that McQueen, one of the most brilliant creative minds of our time, had passed away. The team took this as a sign and dedicated SPIRIT to him. The issue set out to commemorate McQueen's life and career by publishing the imagery that had defined it. From the iconic Nick Knight image of Devon Aoki with a pin through her forehead to the haunting Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin portrait of the designer himself, SPIRIT amassed photographs that, like McQueen and his revolutionary fashion, were completely unforgettable. Mario Sorrenti collaborated with fashion editor Camilla Nickerson producing a photo -- based on the sacrificial lamb -- that current Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton describes as "incredibly moving" and "powerful yet heartbreakingly fragile." Printed onto pulp paper embedded with seeds, the issue could be planted to transform into a garden of wildflowers -- a statement about the transience of life and fashion that honored the designer's vision"--Publisher's description

Book Description
"Summer 2009 seemed more colorful than usual, thanks to the boldly innovative Visionaire issue, Solar. Inside a sleek all-white case resided an all-white board-bound book featuring an all-white embroidered bird by Roe Ethridge. The book featured artworks by Alex Katz, Peter Lindbergh, Ryan McGinley, and David Sims--each printed using breakthrough color-changing inks. When viewed indoors or under artificial light, the issue, sponsored by Calvin Klein Collection, was completely stark in its black & whiteness. When exposed to direct sunlight, however, the artworks reacted to UV rays and bloomed into full color--and inspired actual items of clothing, too. Calvin Klein Collection’s Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli produced women’s and men’s pieces, respectively, made of fabric dipped in the same color-changing inks. Even Yoko Ono was impressed. “I love experiments on the paper itself in publications,” Ono says, looking back. “Visionaire is the only magazine I know of to make such far-out statements. Every issue is so daring and enjoyable. We all wait for the next one to come out. Bravo, Visionaire!""--Publisher's description.

Book Description
"In its relentless pursuit of pushing the idea of the printed magazine to new progressive heights, Visionaire has pioneered issues that are wearable, edible, audible, sprayable, playable, magical, tactile, digital, and now--with its 63rd issue--indestructible. The world-record breaking collectible limited-edition art and fashion publication strives one step closer along the path to immortality with Visionaire 63 Forever. Working with CGI artists, Visionaire transforms 2D photographs into 3D reliefs, pounded into 9x12-inch embossed metal plates. Conceived with the support of G-Shock, “The Toughest Watch in the World-the watch that never breaks,” the inkless and paperless publication aims to take the durable capabilities of high-performance, weather-resistant gadgetry and apply them to the medium of the art and fashion image. Complete with an all-metal case acting as a frame, each issue comes with 10 embossed “pages” by contemporary artists and fashion photographers. Mario Testino contributes the ultimate contemporary fashion icon, Kate Moss, the most recognizeable face in the world. Photography duo Inez & Vinoodh capture the iconoclast, Lady Gaga. Fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld celebrates the grace and strength of the nude male form by photographing his muse, Baptiste. Craig McDean photographs a skull wrapped in vines dating from the mid-1800s used to obtain spiritual guidance. The artist duo Gilbert & George appropriate the icon of Queen Elizabeth’s bust taken from British currency, sparking conversations about value, immortality, royalty, life and death. Yoko Ono creates a new text piece and asks the viewer to gaze at their reflection in the mirrored metal and read, “Grow Love with Me”. Other contributions by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, Solve Sundsbo, Steven Klein, and Richard Avedon. All product shots by Plamen Petkov"--Publisher's description.
