Artforum

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.

    At the beginning of this focused retrospective, Wayne Thiebaud’s portrait of his wife Betty Jean from 1965–69 depicts her seated, a book before her open to reproductions of drawings by Seurat and Manet. Betty Jean’s head-in-hand pose suggests several possible sources: Dürer’s Melencolia I, 1514; Ingres’s Louise, Princesse de Broglie, Later the Comtesse d’Haussonville, 1845; Degas’s Portrait of Edmond Duranty, 1879; or even Picasso’s Woman with a Book, 1932.

    After defeating the caliph Muhammad al-Nasir in the battle of Navas de Tolosa in 1212, the Castilian king, Alfonso VIII, donated to the monastery of Las Huelgas Reales de Burgos a curious spoil of war: a large silk tapestry with geometric and calligraphic motifs in red, yellow, green, blue, white, and black. Although this piece has traditionally been considered a banner (i.e., a flag), studies suggest it probably served as a canopy in the tent of the defeated commander.
