In Visionaire No. 51: Harmony, works by leading artists--including Maurizio Cattelan, Robert Wilson, Yayoi Kusama, Vik Muniz, Massimo Vitali and Richard Misrach--are presented in the form of six large-scale puzzles. Each puzzle consists of 25 pieces that combine to create one complete image nearly three feet square. The puzzles can be pieced together separately so that each forms one artist's vision, or they can be combined to create other unexpected images. How will you create your Harmony? In collaboration with Lexus, and in celebration of the LS600h Hybrid, Visionaire No. 51 is environmentally sensitive. The puzzles are made from partially recycled paper, non-toxic inks and chlorine free materials. They were fabricated at environmentally sustainable factories that recycle all byproducts, including heat generated during production. Each set of six puzzles comes packaged in a slick, 8x8-inch embossed cube. Available in black or silver.

Using the latest in printing technology, this issue of Visionaire changes before your very eyes. The world's leading photographers contribute black-and-white images that transform into color (or reveal hidden layers underneath) when exposed to direct sunlight. The cover of this large-format board-bound book features intricately embroidered artwork that turns to color, and the issue itself arrives inside a white plastic case composed of the same light-sensitive material. Watch this issue magically transform as you hold it in your hands!

Visionaire is bigger than ever! In fact, Visionaire No. 61 will attempt to break the world record for the largest magazine ever produced: a single page of this limited edition measures an astounding 4.2 feet tall by 3 feet wide, making the volume a kind of mobile, walk-in or fold-away gallery. For the issue, the magazine is working with 20 of its favorite and most popular artist and photographer collaborators, including Maurizio Cattelan, Steven Klein, Ryan McGinley, Guido Mocafico, Bruce Weber and others. Never before has the work of these art and fashion superstars arrived in the homes of Visionaire's fans on such a mammoth scale!

From El Lissitzky, Kurt Schwitters and Bruno Munari to Paul Chan, Lawrence Weiner and Richard Prince, modern artists have found ingenious ways of reinventing and reimagining books for children. With its expanded possibilities for visual play and storytelling, the children's book as a form in itself has been increasingly explored by contemporary artists. Now, Visionaire 59: Fairytale presents a mini-library of children's stories by contemporary artists and photographers in collaboration with writers. Ranging in themes from the delightful to the philosophical, and packaged in a luxurious slipcase, Visionaire's newest issue offer a meditation on innocence and childlike creativity, and makes an ideal gift for readers of all ages. Founded in 1991 as a collection of artwork and images hand-assembled by a group of friends in a one-room apartment in New York City, Visionaire has since grown into one of the most highly sought-after fashion and art publications in the world. The New Yorker has characterized Visionaire magazine as a "creative playground for leading designers, artists, photographers and thinkers," adding "it's a gallery in print. A cabinet of irresistible curiosities. A daring iconoclast dressed to thrill."

Some years ago, an antique stereoscope was presented at one of Visionaire's weekly brainstorm sessions, inspiring a maelstrom of ideas among the magazine's editors. When the opportunity to focus an issue on Rio de Janeiro came along, Visionairerealized that stereoscopy provided the perfect format for the theme. A stereoscope allows the viewer to look at a slide made up of a simultaneous double-image of the same picture, creating a 3-D illusion of depth. In the nineteenth century, stereoscopes provided a primary source of imagery and news from faraway lands, and here, Visionaire 62: Rio takes a decidedly analogue approach to achieve the same mesmerizing effect, with a series of images by artists that interpret the city of Rio de Janeiro for 3-D viewing. The issue comes with a stereoscope designed by Visionaire in collaboration with the product design company Aruliden, which is packaged together with the slides inside a lenticular case. Among the contributors are Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima photographed by the artist Richard Phillips; artist Marilyn Minter photographing supermodel Izabel Goulart; filmmaker Cary Fukunaga choreographing Capoeira; artist Marco Brambilla's collages of Rio; Maurizio Cattelan and Lea T; a Tony Oursler installation photographed by Vicente de Paulo; Jason Schmidt's portraits of Vik Miniz, Adriana Verajao and Eli Sudbrack; Solve Sundsbø with Brazilian parrots; Russian performance artist Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich on Ipanema Beach; and Brazilian photographer Gabriel Mendes. The issue comes in two different cases, designed by two of Brazil's most famous artists: a 3D lenticular case by Fernando and Humberto Campana (Campana Brothers); and a mobile lenticular case by Beatriz Milhazes.

Photographer and guest curator Mario Testino uncovers all in this new edition of Visionaire devoted to sex. Widely known for his iconic fashion images and celebrity portraits, Testino is also an avid collector of contemporary art. Here, he chooses a selection of provocative and often graphic pieces by artists such as Ghada Amer, Cecily Brown, Marlene Dumas, Tracey Emin, Angus Fairhurst, Sarah Lucas, Vik Muniz, Thomas Ruff and Lisa Yuskavage. Testino pushes the envelope by including in this issue of the limited edition quarterly a parcel containing five of his own previously unpublished photographic prints. In addition, you can expect Visionaire's trademark boundary-breaking design, plus the extras, in this case, a silk-screened Plexiglas case containing a hardcover book of both color and black-and-white images as well as customized tactile inserts including latex, embroidery, embossing and a swatch of supermodel Gisele's bedsheets. In other words, sex isn't just for reproductions. Because of the too-hot-to-handle contents, Uncensored also comes with a discretionary warning: "This issue of Visionaire contains graphic images of a sexual nature. If you find this kind of material offensive, you should not purchase it." If you don't, though, you should.

Get in touch with your tongue. After the overwhelming success of Visionaire No. 42: Scent, the editors explore another realm of the senses to bring you Visionaire No. 47: Taste. Here, leading artists, such as Jenny Holzer, Yoko Ono, Maurizio Cattelan and Bruce Weber, as well as other accomplished cultural figures, like chef Ferran Adria and rock star Elton John, team with the professional flavorists of the International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) company to break new ground in the exploration of taste. The reader can join in to directly experience 12 original flavors produced exclusively for Visionaire in the form of fast-dissolving breath-strips in individually marked, custom-designed cases that correspond to images printed in an accompanying hardcover book. IFF is a leading creator and manufacturer of tastes and smells, the instigator of sensory experiences both everyday and extraordinary. Some 70 flavorists and 80 perfumers in 34 countries work with the company to create flavors and fragrances for everything from vanilla ice cream to the world's most legendary perfumes. This limited edition of 4,000 numbered copies comes in an innovative and eye-catching package as one can always expect from Visionaire.

Visionaire No. 60: Religion, guest-edited by Givenchy head designer Riccardo Tisci, an exploration of religion as interpreted through photographs and art. Religion is taken here as a synonym for all acts or works of obsession, reverence, ritual, piety and worship. Artists include Marina Abramovic, collaborating with Tisci; Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott photographing Lara Stone; Paolo Canevari, who envisions Vogue Italia editor in chief Franca Sozzani as a saint; Karl Lagerfeld photographing Carine Roitfeld; Mario Sorrenti and Camilla Nickerson depicting a modern-day mother and child; Berlinde de Bruyckere, collaborating with Mario Testino on a series of nudes; Jefferson Hack curating Polaroids by Patti Smith; Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin re-envisioning "Lucy Fer"; Nick Knight and Katy England rendering a winged Kate Moss crucifix; and many more. Bound in leather, Religion is housed in a wooden case that mimics an altar piece; the title is pyrographed onto the front panels of the case.
