For
Visionaire 64 ART, the limited-edition art and fashion publication, 30 celebrity selfies were put into the hands of conceptual artist John Baldessari. “I’ll probably be most remembered for putting dots over people’s faces,” Baldessari remarked. “So it’s funny to do an issue devoted to selfies of famous people.” The portraits—12 of which are featured exclusively on Style.com in the slideshow above—were printed in black and white on high-quality archival paper, then altered with shapes and colors created by Baldessari. “This issue of
Visionaire is about giving the power of image to the subject,” coeditor Cecilia Dean told Style.com. “These personalities chose how they wanted to present themselves, and then allowed John Baldessari to play with their vision. It’s a truly collaborative effort.”
The publication is divided into three editions—Red, Blue, and Green—each of which comes with 10 loose portraits in a case that converts into a display, thanks to a built-in foldout stand.
