Nomenus Quarterly, a limited-edition folio of original or previously unpublished images, typically costs more than your average It bag. (Each issue differs in price, but the rate, until now, was around $2,500.) So, given the current economic climate, it’s a little cheeky that Erik Madigan Heck, the publication’s founder and editor in chief, has slashed the print run to 10 copies from 50 and raised the price to $6,500. For the cost of an entry-level Birkin, the new, seventh issue includes work by the artists Anselm Kiefer and Lucian Freud, the photographers Adam Fuss and Roger Bollan, and a tribute to Ann Demeulemeester men’s wear (above) — shot, by Heck, in the style of the Italian photographer Mario Giacomelli’s studies of young priests. Bless.

To view the issue — and its impressively plentiful Web extras — free, go to nomenusquarterly.com. via tmagazine / the worlds most expensive magazine (June 22, 2009)

Reflecting upon the images (Mary Katrantzou), Heck stated “It signifies a different direction in my own work, where I am trying to flatten the space between photography and illustration, by eliminating photographic elements and painting on different surfaces and colors in post-production, attempting to move closer towards painting itself, in process and form.”

Nomenus Quarterly is an ongoing publication for the arts with a specific focus on exploring the possibilities of mixing fashion with differing mediums, including sound, film, and literature. The publication was begun in 2007, and showcases both original and already published works of art and fashion, merging archival museum collections, with contemporary and previously unseen works. All artworks on the website are copyrighted by the artist, and their respective gallery.
