Whitewall Top 12: A Year in Review

As we begin a new year, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on 2016, which was a banner year for Whitewall. We saw a successful expansion of Whitewaller at fairs around the U.S. and Europe, exciting original content and cover stories in Whitewall, and continued coverage on all things art, design, fashion, and lifestyle on Whitewall.art (with a recent new name!). Here are a few of our highlights in chronological order.

1. Spring 2016 Art Issue with Sterling Ruby Cover and L.A. Focus
In March, Whitewall‘s spring issue, with a special focus on Los Angeles, featured artist Sterling Ruby on the cover. Also in the issue were interviews with Catherine Opie, Kulapat Yantrasast, Shulamit Nazarian, the Haas Brothers, and more.

Whitewall celebrated the release of the issue at the Mondrian L.A., hosted by the Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), the Haas Brothers, and Sterling Ruby. The night included a special performance by Amir H. Fallah, presented by Shulamit Nazarian gallery.

2. Whitewaller Dallas Launch with Jeremy Scott
In April, Harry Winston, Whitewaller, and Tina Craig hosted a dinner at The Joule‘s Americano restaurant in Dallas in honor of fashion designer Jeremy Scott, curated by Ruinart. The evening led up to the Dallas Art Fair, which took place the following week. Guests like Suzanne Droese, Chandra North, Howard and Cindy Rachofsky, Brian Bolke, Heidi Dillon, Nancy Rogers, and Nick Stenson toasted to Scott’s book signing at Forty Five Ten and the launch of Whitewaller Dallas (guest edited by Craig).

Whitewaller New York launched in May during Frieze Week with insiders like André Leon Talley, Laura De Gunzburg, Yvonne Force Villareal, Michael Xufu Huang, Hank Willis Thomas, and Erik Parker. The edition featured 13 special covers, including a work by Lucian Freud featured in the Met Breuer‘s inaugural exhibition, “Unfinished.”

4. Youssef Nabil & Kreëmart Collaboration during Art Basel
Whitewaller partnered with Kreëmart to celebrate artist Youssef Nabil with a special cover edition for Art Basel in June. Nabil explored the tensions in the Middle East with his work Arabian Happy Ending. The video installation consisted of famous love and lust scenes from Egyptian films, threaded together with a story about intimacy.
