From the vibrant panels of such critically acclaimed comics as DMZ to the storied pages of The New Yorker, artist Nathan Fox’s poppy fantasia of reckless color, cheeky pin-ups, and rock-and-roll-infused imagery makes him one of the most innovative and sought-after voices in illustration.

Herzog and de Meuron, the Swiss architects, have led the way with this re-use of the existing building fabric of CaixaForum in Madrid.
