Bazaar Art has unveiled its 2025 supplement featuring four exclusive limited-edition covers, now available with the November issue. The special publication explores the theme of creative connections and artistic relationships that have shaped contemporary art.
Over the months of collaboration, co-editors Hannah Ridley and her colleague have focused on the recurring theme of creative connections throughout the publication. They examine how shared ideas and conversations across time create what they describe as a "profound artistic pulse," whether through the spark of inspiration or ongoing dialogue between artists.
This year's issue offers unprecedented insights into several notable artistic partnerships and influences. The publication features an in-depth look at the irreverent friendship between artists Maggi Hambling and Sarah Lucas, documenting their ribald road trip together. The issue also includes a tribute to artist Allison Katz by Alvaro Barrington, who reveals how Katz's presence and artistic practice have significantly informed his own work.
The literary world is represented through writer Esther Freud's personal response to Jean Rhys's influence on contemporary art. Additionally, photographic artist Joy Gregory discusses the details of her long-overdue retrospective at Whitechapel Gallery in what is described as an honest and appropriately joyful interview with Charlotte Brook.
The publication expands its scope by featuring the artists who inspire various cultural figures, including Gwendoline Christie, Linder Sterling, Olivia Laing, Maro Itoje, and Seán McGirr. These profiles offer readers insight into the creative influences that shape different personalities across various fields.
Jaguar serves as a patron for the publication, with the luxury automotive brand's vision focused on supporting the arts. The partnership aims to create a legacy that will transform the future of British creativity, demonstrating corporate commitment to cultural advancement.
The 2025 Bazaar Art supplement with its four limited-edition covers is currently available with the November issue, offering art enthusiasts and collectors a unique opportunity to own these specially designed publications.
