Modern Painters is a monthly art magazine. It was launched as a quarterly in the United Kingdom in 1987, and is now published in New York City by Louise Blouin Media.
History[]
The magazine was launched in England in 1987 by the art critic Peter Fuller,[1] who was editor until his death in a car accident in 1990. It was at first a quarterly; the first issue appeared in Spring 1988.[2] Fuller's associate editor, Karen Wright, acquired the title from its original backers, who included Bernard Jacobson of and David Landau, founder and then editor of the scholarly journal, Print Quarterly.[citation needed] Wright was retained for a short period in a consultancy capacity when the magazine was purchased by LTB Media in 2004 and its publishing operation was brought to New York City in June 2004.[3] The first editor-in-chief under new ownership was Roger Tatley.
Modern Painters is owned by Louise Blouin Media.[4] In March 2016 Scott Indrisek was named editor-in-chief of the magazine, replacing Daniel Kunitz in the post.[4] Later in the year 2017, most of the staff was renewed and new writers joined the magazine. The launch of new web services such as Blouin shop contributed to a better visibility worldwide.
