Editor’s Letter–May/June 2020
For weeks now, the staff of The Magazine ANTIQUES has been sheltering in place, in the now-familiar phrase.
Big News!
We have important news: our publisher, Don Sparacin, and I have acquired The Magazine ANTIQUES from Art News Media, LLC. We are now independent, and we intend to go places.
Editor’s Letter: March/April 2019
As I write this it is early February, yet I still feel a bit of lingering zing from our participation last month in the sixty-fifth annual Winter Show, which was billed as the event’s Sapphire Jubilee edition. The Magazine ANTIQUES has had an association with the show, held at the Park Avenue Armory, almost from the beginning.
