Cultured is an independent print and digital magazine about contemporary art, architecture, design, fashion, film and music, with distribution in North America and Europe. It was founded in 2011.
History
[edit]Cultured was launched in 2011 by Sarah Harrelson, who launched the Home and Design section of the Miami Herald and then served as editor-in-chief of Ocean Drive and Art Basel Magazine.[1] Cultured's first issue was released in 2012.[2] The gallery R. & Company became the magazine's first advertiser. The annual publication frequency went from two, to four, to finally five issues per year.[3]
In 2013, the magazine launched Cultured Commissions, an editorial concept where an artist is commissioned to make a small limited-edition collection to be exclusively showcased by Cultured. Rafael Cardenas, the Haas Brothers, Matthew Day Jackson, Dana Barnes and Agustina Woodgate,[4] were among the artists commissioned.[1] Cultured exclusively covered Eugenio López Alonso's personal art collection in 2014[5] and the collaborative curatorial initiative Full House with R & Company in 2020.[6]
From 2021 to 2023, Cultured's total revenue increased by 106%, a growth mainly driven by the magazine's sponsored events.[2] In July 2023, the magazine co-organized the celebration of Givenchy's new location on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles.[7][8] In 2024, Ali Pew was appointed fashion editor-at-large[9] and Colin King design editor-at-large.[10]
Description
[edit]The magazine covers fashion, interior design, film and art. It has been described as a "sourcebook for contemporary art and design buffs"[1] illustrated with "unique, nontraditional photography".[2] Every year, the magazine releases a "CULT 100" list of the 100 people who define culture.[11] Notable magazine covers included The Grimes cover (Spring 2019), Chance the Rapper by Theaster Gates, Jane Fonda by Jenny Holzer, Shygirl by Jeremy O. Harris[2] and Gwyneth Paltrow.[12]
In 2023, the magazine published a standalone broadsheet sponsored by Balenciaga and dedicated to Art Basel[2] and has extended the broadsheet format to other cultural events. Cultured has over 50,000 print subscribers (2024), a web-only subscription, and a VIP club. Advertisers include Gucci, Hermès, Chanel, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Rolex and Van Cleef.[13]
