KUNST Magazin was published ten times a year. It was bilingual, German/English, and had a monthly print run of 40,000 copies. It was published in Germany, German-speaking Switzerland and Austria. During the first four years of publication, KUNST Magazin Berlin applied almost solely to Berlin, and distribution was also primarily in Berlin. From January 2010 the magazine was named KUNST Magazin´. Until February 2007, KUNST Magazin appeared in DIN A6 format; from the March 2007 issue, the magazine was published in DIN A5 format. The magazine was self-distributed in hotels, galleries, museums and academies. Art experts and collectors, as well as persons in culture, the media and politics, with an affinity for art, receive KUNST Magazin'' by mail.
History
KUNST Magazin was founded in Berlin in April 2006 by Jennifer Becker, as KUNST Magazin Berlin. It ended publication in 2013.
About 50 percent of KUNST Magazin consisted of editorial contributions, such as articles, interviews with artists and collectors, book reviews, and a page for children. The remainder listed current exhibitions. From 2007 each edition focussed on one main topic. There were, for example, taboo, dignity and vision. From February 2010 each edition also featured one gallery. Towards the end detailed exhibition tips could be found. The print edition was supplemented by the bilingual homepage www.kunst-magazin.de, which had a dailycalendar of current exhibitions and the entire contents of KUNST Magazin. All published editions were accessible in the site archive and almost every edition was available as a PDF-Download.
Events
From January 2010 KUNST Magazin presented and organised a monthly meeting in Berlin at which art collectors made themselves available to the public for a moderated discussion and questions. Previous guests in this series were Giovanna Stefanel-Stoffel and Maximilian Stoffel, Thomas Rusche, Ivo Wessel, Thomas Olbricht, Tommi Brem and Christiane zu Salm. These conversations with collectors were moderated by Jan Kage.
