2-12 October 2019
Central London
Chagall painted artworks for Harper’s Bazaar, Man Ray commissioned Giacometti to make sculptures for the magazine’s fashion shoots and Andy Warhol began his career drawing for our pages. Bazaar’s extraordinary legacy in the art world continues today: Cindy Sherman, Tracey Emin, Gillian Wearing and Yoko Ono are just a few of the artists who have collaborated with us in recent years.
From 2-12 October, we will launch the second annual edition of Bazaar Art Week, a series of expert talks, private views and exclusive parties celebrating women in art.

Champagne and canapés will be provided throughout the class.
