Madonna seems almost innocent and childish in this rather sweet and 1980s photo
So cute, whimsical and er, so Cindy Lauper!

New York
– September 20, 2012 – W Hotels Worldwide and vitaminwater, in partnership with
Rock Paper Photo,
today announced MADONNA: A Transformational Exhibition. The exclusive
traveling, multi-media exhibition features never-before-seen photographs of the
music and fashion legend’s iconic 1980s street style shot by celebrated
photographers Richard Corman and George DuBose. Debuting this evening at W
Mexico City, the exhibit, which combines music, photography and pop
culture, will be transformed during the launch event by famed New York City
street artist Alec Monopoly with his signature style. The exhibition will then
travel around the globe making stops at the newly opened W
Singapore – Sentosa Cove, W
Paris – Opera, W
Bangkok, W
Hong Kong and W
New York – Times Square later this year.
“We are delighted to partner
with vitaminwater and Rock Paper Photo on this exclusive exhibition that
celebrates music and fashion, two of the W brand’s core passions,” said Vincent
Gillet, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels and Le Méridien. “Madonna is one of the
industry’s biggest icons, and through this innovative partnership, we’re able
to create a truly exclusive experience that gives our jet-setting guests
insider access to never-been-seen-before photographs of the Queen of Pop.”
“This incredible exhibition
personifies style, cachet and personality – a perfect fit what we stand for as
a brand,” added Rodolfo Echeverria, vice president of global active lifestyle
beverages, Coca-Cola. “We’re thrilled to partner with W Hotels and
Rock Paper Photo to give our drinkers around the globe an intimate peek at one
of the greatest pop stars of our time.”
As part
of the exhibition, Rock Paper Photo together with Corman, who has photographed
the likes of Nelson Mandela, Kurt Vonnegut, and Keith Haring, will reveal
never-before-seen portraits of Madonna shot in New York City, also the
birthplace of W Hotels. Featuring the music icon’s signature 80s street style,
this is the first time that several of Corman’s photographs will be revealed to
the public. The photographs have been curated by Rock
Paper Photo, the ultimate online fine art photography gallery,
founded by Live Nation Entertainment and Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary.
“Madonna
was an Original,” said Corman. “No one at that time had the look, the talent
and the relentless attitude and fortitude to move her style forward at all
costs. These images [represent] her fearlessness and charismatic bravado that
to this day credits her with changing the course of Pop Culture.”
W Hotels
and vitaminwater will travel the exhibition to select W Hotels around the world
starting with W Mexico City on September 20. At each stop along the global
tour, New York City street artist Alec Monopoly will transform the photos live
using his graffiti style artistry. Featuring his signature ‘Monopoly Man’ tag,
Monopoly will utilize colors that mirror the vibrancy of vitaminwater’s robust
flavors while bringing to life the 24/7 nature of W Hotels.
MADONNA:
A Transformational Exhibition will debut at W Mexico City
on September 20 and make month-long stops at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove on
October 20, W Paris – Opera on November 14 and W Bangkok, W Hong Kong and W New
