Give 'Michael Jackson: On the Wall' to the art and music lover on your list!

"Interview magazine, September 2009," by KAWS, is reproduced from Michael Jackson: On the Wall, published to accompany the blockbuster exhibition currently on view at the Grand Palais in Paris—the first exhibition to examine Jackson's previously undocumented impact on contemporary art, beginning with Andy Warhol (who was the first artist to depict Jackson, in the early 1980s). When Jackson died in 2009, KAWS was commissioned to make a cover that would pay tribute. "One of the strongest images that I associate him with is the glove," KAWS is quoted. "I always loved how he could take normal articles of clothing such as a white glove, red leather jacket, shoes and claim them as elements of his identity so wherever you see them in the world they bring your thoughts back to Michael."
