With Perrotin's "Femmes," Pharrell Makes His Return to Curating Art Exhibitions, and Other News

Plus, Randall Jones wins the Female Design Council grant, and the eye-watering media impact of Bad Bunny's Calvin Klein campaign.

The Pharrell-curated “Femmes” exhibition—his first in more than a decade—has opened at Perrotin.

Pharrell—Louis Vuitton Men’s creative director—has made a return to the art world with “Femmes,” on view now at Perrotin Paris. The show follows his 2014 curatorial debut, “Girl,” also with Perrotin. “Femmes” is a group exhibition honoring Black women’s artistic contributions across generations and disciplines and features the works of luminaries including Carrie Mae Weems, Esther Mahlangu, Tschabalala Self, Nina Chanel Abney, and more. The show celebrates identity, activism, and femininity through the photography, painting, and textile works of nearly 40 artists.
