‘It's a piece of art that I am really proud of’ – Rihanna

Rihanna invites you into her world with this stunning visual autobiography. From her Barbados childhood to her worldwide tours, from iconic fashion moments to private time with friends and family, the book showcases intimate photographs of her life as an artist, performer, designer, and entrepreneur. Many of these images have never before been published.

Signed by Rihanna and The Haas Brothers, and numbered 11–1,000, the Luxury Supreme edition is cradled by an extraordinary sculpture, ‘Drippy + The Brain,’ a custom cast-resin tabletop bookstand plated in an 18-carat gold color with mirror-finish, which measures a substantial 57 x 43-1/2 inches. The sculpture is topped with a cushioned platform made from high-density, laser-cut foam covered with a bespoke black vermiculated fabric. No detail has been overlooked; the Luxury Supreme edition also features a matte black, laser-cut steel logo inset into the front cover, with custom-designed endpapers by The Haas Brothers in spot gloss on a rich, black paper stock.

Biografie

Rihanna (b. 1988, Barbados) is a nine-time Grammy Award–winning recording artist, songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. She has sold 60 million albums and 215 million digital tracks worldwide, making her the top-selling digital artist of all time. Rihanna launched her beauty line Fenty Beauty in 2017, her lingerie line Savage X Fenty in 2018, and most recently her luxury fashion line FENTY in 2019.

Since founding The Haas Brothers in 2010, twin brothers Nikolai and Simon (b.1984; Austin, TX) have spurned arbitrary artistic boundaries and hierarchies, creating a playful and provocative world that merges art, fashion, film, music, and design. Their work explores aesthetic themes related to nature, science fiction, sexuality, and psychedelia in materials that range from brass, porcelain, and fur, to highly technical resins and polyurethane. Their first solo museum show opened at The Bass Museum of Art in 2018 and their work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. In 2019, they were the recipients of the Arison Award given by the YoungArts Foundation. The Haas Brothers are represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York. They live and work in Los Angeles.
