The Spring 2009 cover of tar magazine features the above graphic of Kate Moss. Created by Damien Hirst, the image exposes half of Kate’s face – instead of distorting a model’s face by airbrushing a photograph, Hirst peeks into the true, and not always pretty, side of human anatomy.

The biannual arts magazine (co-founded by BlackBook founder Evanly Schindler and Maurizio Marchiori of Diesel) releases its second issue April 15

(Note:  Hirst’s version of Kate is based on her March 2005 cover of W Magazine.)
