Ursula: Issue 5

Featuring Paul McCarthy, Rashid Johnson, Annie Leibovitz, Gerard Malanga and more, the fifth issue of Hauser & Wirth’s magazine Ursula is themed around alchemy and color

The fifth issue of Ursula magazine is themed around alchemy and color. For the cover story, Paul McCarthy talks with fellow Los Angeles artist Tala Madani about their shared interest in digging into meaning through work that strains the bounds of cultural acceptance. The issue also includes work by Rashid Johnson, Annie Leibovitz, Gerard Malanga, Alina Szapocznikow, David Zink-Yi and the Wooster Group.

Ursula is the large-format quarterly art magazine of Hauser & Wirth gallery, featuring essays, profiles, interviews, original portfolios and photography by some of the most thought-provoking writers and artists in the world. Ursula takes its name from the internationally admired cofounder of the gallery–the patron, collector, mentor and art-world materfamilias Ursula Hauser. It reflects the inclusive values and broad perspective of the gallery she helped to establish in Zurich in 1992.
