Since late last year, the Highline Park in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood has been commissioning work for the large billboard that sits alongside the elevated park at 18th Street and 10th Avenue.  In collaboration with its owner, Edison Properties, the billboard has been home to works by such artists as David Shrigley, Anne Collier and John Baldessari.  Now, the billboard is under the design of artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, co-heads of the Italian photography magazine Toilet Paper.
