In 1987, Hopper began to use a Polaroid camera to document gang graffi ti. He was particularly drawn to the abstract shapes of overlapping paint that appeared when graffi ti had been covered up or written over, reminding him, he said, “that art is everywhere in every corner that you choose to frame and not just ignore and walk by.” The Polaroids presented for the fi rst time in this book are proof of that.

New Titles 11 Toiletpaper Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari Toiletpaper 13 Toiletpaper is an artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari and born out of a shared passion for images. The magazine contains no text. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the fi rst issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy. Maurizio Cattelan has exhibited internationally in leading institutions and has participated numerous times in the Venice Biennale. He curated the 4th Berlin Biennale with Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick.

Lubomirski was so impressed by Nyong’o’s natural beauty that he felt she didn’t need studio lighting because she radiated light from within. After shooting her, it struck him that he rarely had the chance to photograph beautiful women with a range of diff erent “looks” for professional assignments. Often when he submitted a list of models he was interested in shooting, responses would be along the lines of “We love her, but . ”, “Her hair is a problem . ”, “She is too dark.” In response, Lubomirski conceived Diverse Beauty, which celebrates many diff erent types of female beauty through sophisticated and lively fashion photographs. Diverse Beauty embraces all beauty and aims to put every type of beauty on a pedestal, so that everyone who looks at it, no matter her race, size, color, or sexual orientation, can identify and see herself as beautiful.
