Influence / AR New York
editor in chief, 2002 – 2004
Raul Martinez, founder & chief creative officer of AR New York had always wanted to launch his own magazine about the art and photography that influenced him and the work he produced at his agency. As he was a huge fan of ISSUE, he asked me to work with him to make this possible. What we produced was a rare gem of a magazine that received extremely high acclaim and ended up in museum archives and numerous exhibitions. Unfortunately Influence had no commercial legs to stand on and only two issues were produced. Notable contributions include Kurt Andersen, Bob Nickas, Louise Neri, Thomas Ruff, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
I established a unique editorial structure, directed content development, and managed print production and distribution.
