Who the hell can laugh in a time like this? Across 300+ pages, Autre’s Spring/Summer 2024 “Levity” issue explores our zeitgeist of antigravity. Why is humor, laughter, and irreverence important in a time of global crisis?

The legendary Juergen Teller photographs the nearly 90-year-old British painter Rose Wylie for the cover of Autre’s SS24 issue with a 34-page document of images by Teller from her cottage studio in Kent. Five additional covers include pop phenom Charli XCX interviewed by Hans Ulrich Obrist and photographed by Davey Adésida; a Bottega Veneta special photographed by Parker Woods; a unique cover by artist Jeffrey Gibson, the first Native American artist to represent the US with a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale; outsider-now-insider artist Otis Houston Jr., known for installing and performing his work in public along FDR Drive in Manhattan, photographed by Nick Sethi; and artistic director of Zegna, Alessandro Sartori, presents his personal photography with a cover story featuring Arte Povera legend Michelangelo Pistoletto.
