Numéro 244

A color of peace, love and purity, white has held a central place in the history of art for centuries. From Bertrand Lavier and Charles Ray to Marina Abramovic and David Hammons, a number of contemporary artists have seized upon this color in their striking works, brought together here in a portfolio.

White is also at the heart of the work of American artist Robert Ryman, whose major retrospective at the Musée de l'Orangerie opens in March. An opportunity to look back at his remarkable work.

Also featured: an interview with Daniel Lee, the talented British designer recently appointed head of Burberry; Sevdaliza, a magnetic singer with a thousand metamorphoses; supermodel Malgosia Bela, the focus of a book featuring the most iconic images of her career; Paul Kircher, the new revelation of French cinema in the film Le Règne animal; a zoom on American artist Mike Kelley, exhibited at the Bourse de commerce this autumn; and fashion series by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Matthias Vriens, Damien Krisl, Hördur Ingason, BJARNE x TAKATA, Yulia Gorbachenko and Julien Vallon.
