This is probably not the first time an image has been on the cover of 2 magazines at the same time, but the first time I received emails of their releases within 24 hours. Here are the covers of the september issues of Artforum

and Frieze.

Maybe Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait were the same, but I remember them being different images of the same piece. Memory being what it is, they probably were the same.
