Condé Nast's NEW TATE MAGAZINE OUT TO PRESS
The first re-launched issue of the new TATE magazine, published by
Condé
Nast, will be on the newsstands from 5 September. Designed to make the
visual arts accessible to a broad readership, the magazine will be
positioned alongside the most cutting-edge titles.
Condé Nast has assembled a talented team, under the energetic
editorship
of Robert Violette, including the best of international writers and
design
innovators, and has given them free rein to produce a magazine that
reflects TATE's own dynamic attitude towards the visual arts.
Designed to interest the six million people who annually visit the four
TATE galleries, in London, Liverpool and St Ives, the magazine will be
published bi-monthly and will be distributed to 60,000 Tate Members as
well as via newsstands in the UK and internationally.
