Modern Painters is a monthly art magazine. It was initially launched as a quarterly in the United Kingdom in 1987, but it 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 1990. It was at first a quarterly with its first issue appearing in Spring 1988.[2] Fuller's associate editor, Karen Wright, acquired the title from its original backers, who included Bernard Jacobson of Bernard Jacobson Gallery and David Landau, founder and then editor of the scholarly journal, Print Quarterly. Wright was retained for a short period in a consultancy capacity when the magazine was purchased by its present owners in the early 2000s and its publishing operation was brought to New York City.
