The May Artforum has arrived, and it is a thick one! The ads this month are very, very strong, perhaps as a result of galleries angling for attention during the busy month to come, with Frieze New York and Art Basel Hong Kong on tap, and Art Basel proper not too far off. Tom Holert writes Read More

This month’s issue of Artforum is superb, beginning with the very first piece, a series of moving remembrances of Michael Asher by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Anne Rorimer and John Baldessari. Also here: Sergei Tcherepnin and Gela Patashuri discuss their project for the Georgian Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale, Maria Antonella Pelizzari tackles the work of the late Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri (who nabs this month’s cover), and Melissa Anderson considers the work of Jacques Demy. Great stuff. We’re here right now for the ads, though. It was a solid, though not altogether stellar, month in that department. Read More

This month’s issue of Artforum is so good, so rich with content, that we keep forgetting to look at its ads and publish our popular monthly feature “Reviewing Artforum‘s Advertisements.” After enjoying the issue’s many pleasures—especially Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer’s conversation with Laura Owens and Alexander Provan on touch screens—we are here, and we couldn’t be happier.

Yes! The February edition of Artforum has arrived. And it is a beauty. Catherine Wood considers the multifarious work of Ei Arakawa, David Velasco files a “1000 Words” piece with Art Club 2000 members Daniel McDonald and Patterson Beckwith and Mira Schor considers the legacies of Robert Hughes and Hilton Kramer. We are here now to celebrate the issue’s ads, though. They are particularly strong this month! Read More

The January 2013 edition of Artforum—volume 51, number five—has arrived, complete with a winter preview, a superb essay by Beau Rutland on the work of Anicka Yi and Dara Birnbaum writing on Hilma af Klint. There is also a very substantial piece on Frances Stark by Mark Godrey. Lots of great material! However, we are here today for the ads. Read More

The contents of this month’s Artforum are rich and varied. Isabelle Graw writes about the enterprising young artist Jana Euler, Pamela M. Lee reviews the 11th Havana Biennial and Jonathan Horowitz files the Top Ten list, including the delicious Chipotle fast-food chain among his picks. But we are here, as we are every month, for the Read More

This month’s Artforum has a fine array of offerings. There’s Robert Pincus-Witten on the late Ivan Karp, Branden W. Joseph on the new books about Warhol’s films by Douglas Crimp and J. J. Murphy, and even Gagosian’s John Elderfield on the new Bob Dylan album. Read More

After a long summer vacation, Artforum has returned with its September issue. It is a beauty, and one of the thickest issues in recent memory. A Lawrence Weiner adorns the cover. Inside are articles commemorating the magazine’s 50th anniversary, with a number of pieces from former Artforum editors in chief. Jack Bankowsky explains his decision Read More

Artforum‘s summer issue is a star-studded affair, complete with a conversation between Taryn Simon and Brian De Palma, an essay by Richard Aldrich on Daan van Golden (who nabs the coveted cover spot with a very summery image) and a top-10 list from Patterson Beckwith: he’s into Los Angeles art shop Ooga Booga, RuPaul’s Drag Race and Mindy Vale.
