About The Magazine ANTIQUES

Since its inception in 1922, The Magazine ANTIQUES has been America’s premier publication on the fine and decorative arts, architecture, preservation, and interior design. Each bimonthly issue includes regular columns on current exhibitions, personalities in the field, notes on collecting, book reviews, and more.


Meet the Team

DON SPARACIN
Publisher

After 15 years as an American art dealer and gallery director, Don joined ANTIQUES in September of 2011. Don brings a vast breadth of knowledge of the American paintings market to the publication—an important niche within the magazine’s editorial and advertising content. His goal is to help maintain the legacy of the century-old title and provide an important forum for dealers, museums, and luxury brands to promote their businesses. Don is a father of two girls, and an avid fan of the New York Metropolitans.

SARAH STAFFORD TURNER
Senior Editor

Sarah Turner (née Bilotta) began working for ANTIQUES on the eve of the magazine's 100th anniversary, overseeing digital editorial output and fact-checking. She now serves as Senior Editor. She also writes our popular Antique of the Day social media series. Sarah holds a postgraduate qualification in Design History from the University of Oxford and has a background in art museums.

MARTIN MINERVA
Art Director

Martin has been with ANTIQUES for the past 20 years and has been the publication's art director for the last three. He grew up in Rockville Center, New York and now lives in Queens with his wife Debbie and their two kids.

CHRISTINE HILDEBRAND
Managing Editor

Christine supports ANTIQUES's editorial and digital departments. In her youth, Christine was indirectly introduced to the world of antiques; her gran’s collection of egg coddlers and flocks of pie birds developed a hardened affinity toward objects of specificity. Today, Christine is a published writer and Renaissance woman, exercising a variety of recreational talents such as photographing street style and walking her two buff cocker spaniels. She refuses to endure the guilt of missing her local flea market come Sunday or breaking the arguably bad habit of stalking EstateSales.NET late into the evening.

ELEANOR GUSTAFSON
Consulting Editor

Eleanor, who started at ANTIQUES fresh out of college, stepped back from her full-time role as executive editor in 2017. As consulting editor, she continues to write our Endnotes page, while also serving as our institutional memory and making sure we don’t let our editorial standards slip. In her free time she enjoys the familiar fruits of retirement: traveling, spending time with her four children and their families, and playing tennis and bridge.

GLENN ADAMSON
Editor-at-large

Glenn is a curator, writer, and historian who works at the intersection of craft and contemporary art. Currently Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art, he has previously been Director of the Museum of Arts and Design; Head of Research at the V&A; and Curator at the Chipstone Foundation in Milwaukee. Glenn has written multiple publications, including his most recent Fewer Better Things: The Hidden Wisdom of Objects, published by Bloomsbury in 2018.

ELIZABETH POCHODA
Advisory Editor

Betsy served as ANTIQUES’s editor for 8 years, only the fifth editor since the publication’s founding in 1922. As a longtime magazine professional, she has a keen interest in fine art, antiques, and design and holds a PhD in medieval and Renaissance literature from the University of Pennsylvania. She was also the arts editor of The Nation magazine for many years.

BROOKE LAFFAN
Sales and Marketing Specialist

Brooke grew up surrounded by the treasures in her Grandparents' Antique shop. Her love of all things old and beautiful has been the backdrop for her career in the Auction, Luxury, Travel, and Hospitality industries. She and her husband Mike have two beautiful and talented daughters, Jackie & Natalie.

ANNA KOZLOSKI
Digital Media and Editorial Assistant

Anna joined ANTIQUES in 2025 and supports the magazine’s editorial and illustration needs. With an avid creative appetite, she constantly seeks new sources of artistic inspiration. In her free time, she can be found writing and illustrating her own poems and picture books, cartooning, knitting, sewing, listening to strange music, and obsessing over Edward Gorey’s artistic genius.
