Taking as our starting point the Louis Vuitton Challenge, the qualifying round of sailboat races for the America's Cup, we assembled teams of artists, photographers, and image makers to represent each of the participating countries-Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. Accordingly, there were seven versions. In the spirit of games, the issue came in the form of a puzzle in which sixteen cubes, when placed in the correct configuration, form one of six possible images. The cubes, along with a portfolio of all forty-two images, were packaged in a silk-screened Lucite case created for us by Louis Vuitton. Alex Katz and Mary Ellen Mark participated for the U.S.; Tracey Moffatt and Patricia Piccinini for Australia; Serge Lutens and Pierre Joseph for France; Maurizio Cattelan and Francesco Clemente for Italy; Yoshitomo Nara and Takashi Murakami for Japan; Pedro Almod-var and Juan Gatti for Spain; and Roman Signer and Pipilotti Rist for Switzerland." The outside of the cardboard box is blind-stamped: USA, 2000 Louis Vuitton Cup. Printed on front of portfolio: The key to the puzzle. Limited edition of 6000 copies. To tie the lucite case shut, a leather cord is included; a small spherical compass is attached to the cord. Includes subscription page.
