Image of Madonna Spotted in Westwood

For the week of May 17 through 25, the ground floor of the W Los Angeles—Westwood hotel is getting a decidedly sexier look. The Madonna Gallerie—a collection of art featuring the pop icon’s image by the likes of Herb Ritts, Steven Klein, and Jean-Baptiste Mondino—decks the walls around the lobby and bar areas. The art is being sold along with apparel and California wines with Madonna labels to kick off the L.A. stops on her “Confessions” tour and to benefit Unicef. (W is also finalizing plans to open
Madonna Galleries around the country in conjunction with the tour in several other markets where the singer will perform.) Evolutionary Media Group is coordinating the exhibit, and oversaw the preview event that allowed press a peek on May 16.
