Over 180 galleries and art book dealers from across the world have come together at the 21st Paris Photo exhibition being held in the city’s historic Grand Palais. Art and photography lovers will be able to find everything from documentary photography to abstract images and stylised shoots from some of the world’s most renowned photographers such as Cindy Sherman and Helmut Newton to Harley Weir and Nobuyoshi Araki.
This year’s guest of honor goes to the eccentric creative director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld has hand-picked and curated some of his favorite pieces by placing a signed sticker beside each; Patti Smith has also been honored as a guest curator.
Paris Photo 2017 runs until Sunday, November 12. For more information, head over to Paris Photo 2017’s website. In case you’ve missed it, photographer Cindy Sherman teamed up with Supreme on its Artist Series skate decks.
Debuting last month, the Arsham/Fieg Gallery kicked things off with an exhibition of work from Haroshi. Now, the gallery has tapped watercolor artist Adam Lister for its next show.
Known for his blocky, 8-bit-looking paintings, Lister is no stranger to the world of streetwear — last year, the artist joined forces with BAPE and has painted iconic cultural touchstones like the Notorious B.I.G. and Air Jordan 1. The artist is set to debut new works at the Arsham/Fieg Gallery, in an exhibition dubbed “CONFIGURATION.” No word yet on how the artwork will play into the theme, but it’s not unreasonable to expect some recognizable imagery done up in Lister’s retro style.
Check out a selection of Lister’s work available for sale on his website and look forward to the exhibit’s opening on November 16.

Supreme is featuring the works from photographer Cindy Sherman for the Fall/Winter 2017 season of its Artist Series skate decks. Cynthia Morris “Cindy” Sherman is a New Jersey-born artist whose primary work focuses on portrait photography; she is most well-known for her self-portraits completely directed, produced, made-up, styled and modeled alone in her studio. Sherman’s work does not fit any specific aesthetic across her accomplishments, but does make its statements of women in mass media through fictionalized portrayals, while also remarking on the stereotypes of female iconography in pop culture and female identity. Her work awarded her the MacArthur Fellowship in 1995.
Supreme features Cindy Sherman’s Untitled #181 and Untitled #175 pieces from her ‘Grotesque Series’ of photo stills. The set includes two skateboard decks with the original artwork on each underside and the artist’s signature on the opposites. Look for the skate decks to release online and in-store in NY, Brooklyn, LA, London and Paris on November 9. Japan will see its release subsequently on November 11.
In case you missed it, Supreme recently utilized the artwork of Japanese manga artist Katsuhiro Otomo, whose Akira artwork and characters were featured on the streetwear label’s original skate decks alongside a full collection of apparel.
Yung Jake is widely-known for his intricate “Emoji Portraits” that feature celebrities and pop culture figures. The LA-based artist was recently commissioned by the Dream Downtown hotel in New York City to create original pieces. The collaborative series spotlights portraits of Willow Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gigi Hadid, Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty. Check out the portraits for yourself by stopping by Dream Downtown.

Takashi Murakami is bringing his most-popular “The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg” retrospective to the Vancouver Art Gallery, marking the first major exhibit for Murakami in Canada. The renowned showcase was initially organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and now, Canadian fans of the legendary Japanese artist will be able to see a bevy of paintings and sculptures in person.
