The collaboration began in 2005 when Wills and Cho took notice of a generation of artists that were influencing, creating and defining the visual vocabulary of our times. A unique photographic series that is the only collection of its kind, “Heroes & Villains” captures the essence of these masters of their medium and portrays them in the spotlight.
