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.
Highlights of the first issue:
