'I haven't met her yet': George Clooney reveals quest for true love as he's pictured in head-to-toe polka-dots for W Magazine's annual Art Issue

The world has long been dotty about George Clooney, but it's quite a sight to see the star himself get the polka-dot treatment.
In the latest Art Issue of W Magazine, the actor looks even more striking than usual as he's made over as part of a custom-designed art installation by 84-year-old Japanese avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama.
The cover features the debonnaire silver fox clad in a black Giorgio Armani suit and bow tie that has been hand-painted with white spots, along with a white shirt covered with black spots, as he poses in front of a matching spotted background.

'Yayoi Kusama depicted me covered in polka dots. She made me Snoopy! But I must say: I’m proud to be Snoopy!' Clooney laughs of the fun and unique makeover.
Other photos in the shoot see the 52-year-old sitting in an entire room decorated in spots, from the chair he's sitting on to the desk he casually leans one elbow on, while even his shoes have been given the painted treatment.

Another image also sees him leaning against an old white and black polka-dot car as he gazes up to the sky, clad in the same ensemble.
Five female artists took part in the annual issue, with Karen Kilimnik creating a sketch from her recollection of the star from the red carpet; Marilyn Minter making a colourful, textured painting from a photograph; and Tracey Emin individualising a neon sign based on his answers to her questionnaire.

Catherine Opie also captured the Hollywood star on film in two very simple images, one of which sees him standing barefoot in a dark room, wearing a suit, with his arms folded and a faraway look on his face, lit only by a delicate beam of light shining in from the side.
The other picture sees the two-time Oscar-winner sitting atop a stool, one knee raised, dressed in the same suit, eyes shut, clutching several wilting red roses in his clenched hands.
Asked during Emin's questionnaire what's more important: passion, romance or hard-core sex, he responds, 'Passion... That encompasses the other two.'
Who is or was the greatest love of his life?
'I haven't met her yet...' reveals the lothario, who was most recently linked to Croatian model Monika Jakisic in October.

While he may play coy when it comes to his love life, the actor did reveal his ideal woman, citing classic beauties Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly as being at the top of his list.

'When I was a kid, I was in love with Audrey Hepburn. I watched Roman Holiday when I was 11, and I thought she was as elegant as anything I’d ever seen. And I fell madly in love with her,' he admitted. 'I also always loved Grace Kelly. I mean, when she comes out of the water in To Catch A Thief, I thought, "That’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen".'
George is a fitting cover star for the annual art issue, having co-written, co-produced and directed new movie The Monuments Men, in which he also stars.
The 2014 release, which is based on real events, tells the story of a group of museum directors, curators and art historians - led by Clooney's George Stout - who join forces to rescue art stolen by Adolf Hitler during World War II.

'Art takes different forms, but it represents something that is basic in all of us - our history,' Clooney explains in the accompanying article.
'We wanted to do a movie where the good guys win and you’re fighting the ultimate bad guy -Hitler. This was a story that nobody had heard about,' he continues of the project his writing and producing partner, Grant Heslov, championed after stumbling across the 2009 Robert M Edsel book of the same name.
'In The Monuments Men, we question whether saving art is worth a life, and I would argue that the culture of a people represents life. With the end of a country’s culture goes its identity. It’s a terrible loss, down to your bones.
'Hitler pulled off the greatest art heist in the history of the world - luckily, some of that art has been recovered.'
The new issue of W Magazine hits newsstands in LA and New York today and will be distributed nationally on December 9.
