Numéro Special Issue

Also in this issue: brilliant French actor Pierre Niney, who plays the Count of Monte Cristo in a film presented at the Cannes Film Festival, here under the lens of P. A Hüe de Fontenay; talented fencer Rossella Fiamingo, who will be taking part in the Paris Olympics this summer; Ramla Ali, a committed boxing champion whose career will soon be the subject of a Hollywood biopic; and as always, fashion series by Fabien Montique, Txema Yeste, Jacob Sutton, Umit Savaci, Boris Camaca and Julien Vallon.

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.
