Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. np (48pp) + 16 six-sided pictorial blocks housed in a Lucite case. 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. The six French contributors represented here are Karl Lagerfeld, Serge Lutens, M/M, Pierre Joseph, Richard Fauguet, and Guy Limone. 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. A brand new, most handsome individually numbered example of the France edition inside the publisher's unprinted protective cardboard shipping box, as issued.
