In Artist's Magazines: An Alternative Space For Art, Gwen Allen takes on eight publications, including Artforum, File, Art-Rite and Avalanche. In this text-heavy document Allen provides rich context and in-depth analysis of the publications. For the hardcore zine fan.
In Numbers: Serial Publications Since 1955 covers significantly more publications - 56 to be exact. This behemoth monograph may be preferable for the folks who want numerous, large, scan-worthy images. And it isn't lacking in text either - it chronicles the life and times of many lesser-known publications like Vile, SLUTS, and Tripping Corpse.
See them both in our NEW BOOKS section.
