Published in an edition of six thousand copies, this is the thirtieth installment of everyone's favorite long-running luxe fashion quarterly, Visionaire. Issued in conjunction with the Louis Vuitton Cup Trials to determine the finalists for the 2000 America's Cup yacht race, Visionaire assembled teams of artists, photographers and image makers from the seven participating countries. Six contributors each from the U.S., Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland produced an image that occupies one side of each of the enclosed blocks; the sixteen cubes placed in the correct configuration form one of the six different images.

These cubes, along with a booklet of all forty-two images are packaged inside a silk-screened Lucite case created for Visionaire by Louis Vuitton. The closure for this case is a spherical nautical compass on a leather thong, so you'll never get lost while trying to solve the puzzles inside.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Visionaire 30 is not only a collection of art, it is also a game. Taking as our starting point the Louis Vuitton Challenge, the qualifying round of sailboat races for the America's Cup, we assembled teams of artists, photographers, and image makers to represent each of the participating countries-Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. Accordingly, there were seven versions. In the spirit of games, the issue came in the form of a puzzle in which sixteen cubes, when placed in the correct configuration, form one of six possible images. The cubes, along with a portfolio of all forty-two images, were packaged in a silk-screened Lucite case created for us by Louis Vuitton. Alex Katz and Mary Ellen Mark participated for the U.S.; Tracey Moffatt and Patricia Piccinini for Australia; Serge Lutens and Pierre Joseph for France; Maurizio Cattelan and Francesco Clemente for Italy; Yoshitomo Nara and Takashi Murakami for Japan; Pedro Almodā"var and Juan Gatti for Spain; and Roman Signer and Pipilotti Rist for Switzerland.
