French luxury superpower Saint Laurent confirms its presence at annual, gallery-spanning show Art Basel Miami Beach with an exhibition planned and curated by Madonna and Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Saint Laurent, to celebrate the re-edition by Rive Droite of Madonna’s groundbreaking book Sex published by Callaway.

 

Upon its release in 1992, Madonna’s provocative book became a controversial sensation around the globe, due to its bold erotic content and liberated views of sexual self-expression. Sex contained indelible imagery by Steven Meisel as well as written text by Madonna. 

To mark the book’s lasting impact and special anniversary, Madonna and Saint Laurent decided to accompany its re-edition by making Sex come alive on the walls of an ephemeral gallery. Large-format prints from the book will be shown in Miami for the first time. T-shirts and tote bags will also be for sale at the exhibition.

The Saint Laurent beachfront gallery will be free to visit for anyone over age 18 from November 29 to December 4 (10 AM - 7 PM).

“I’ll teach you how to fuck.”

–Madonna, Sex-
