On January 27th, one of our favorite artists, Richard Phillips, opens his latest solo show “Most Wanted” at London’s White Cube gallery. It consists of ten large-scale (two-meter tall!) portraits of young, powerful, and glamorous stars: Robert Pattinson, Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name a few. Richard provokes questions about these superstars as brand figureheads and the power of celebrity branding to shape the face of our future.
On July 15th M.A.C. Cosmetics hosted three parties in honor of three very special artist collaborations that will be featured in its upcoming fall campaign. By putting makeup into the hands of three very different artists, ARTCO helped foster the creation of three works that showcase M.A.C.'s brand new fall collection in exciting and innovative ways. Needless to say, the summer night spent in the fabulous studios of painter Richard Phillips, illustrator Maira Kalman, and photographer Marilyn Minter was a night to remember. Although the M.A.C. campaign won’t hit stores until the fall, the three equally amazing events entertained many glamorous fans; starlets Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, and Zoe Kravitz, nightclub empresario Amy Sacco, painter John Currin, and designers Cynthia Rowley, Isaac Mizrahi, and Erin Fetherston, to name a few.
