Artforum

Artforum is a global monthly publication focused on contemporary art. The magazine is released each month from September to May, with an additional issue published in the summer. What sets Artforum apart is its distinct square format of 10½ x 10½ inches, where each cover typically highlights the artwork of an artist. Additionally, the magazine's logo features a striking and compact version of the Akzidenz-Grotesk typeface, which is noteworthy for an American publication, especially given the difficulty of sourcing popular Swiss fonts from European foundries during the 1960s.

Kim Sajet is stepping down as director of the National Portrait Gallery. Sajet was the first woman ever to hold the role. Her departure comes after President Donald Trump announced in a social media post late last month that he was firing her because she was “a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position.” Despite the president’s claim, Sajet continued to report for work.
