New York contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley made a name for himself with his paintings of African-American men posing heroically in front of baroque backgrounds. For his latest exhibition, however, a series of paintings of women (cast from the streets of New York)—all clad in Givenchy. Wiley worked closely with Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci to come up with six dresses for the models. The exhibition (An Economy of Grace), exploring the depiction of gender in the context of history, opens at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York in May.
