History

Antiques was founded in 1922. [1] The magazine underwent a complete redesign in 2009. The head-of-title note "The Magazine" first appeared in January 1928, but was not used between August 1952 and February 1971.

The publication claims a readership of 150,000 and was previously published by Brant Publications, a company founded in 1984 by Peter M. Brant, [1] a newsprint magnate and art collector. In 2016 The Magazine Antiques, along with ARTnews , Art in America and Modern Magazine, became acquired by Art Media Holdings.

Historian Wendell Garrett, later an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow , served as the magazine's editor from 1972 to 1990. [2] He remained editor at large until his death in 2012. [2] Another editor, from 1939 until 1972, was Alice Winchester, a pioneer historian of American folk art. [3]

Antiques is currently edited by Gregory Cerio, the sixth editor since the publication's founding. He previously worked as a senior features editor for House & Garden magazine from 1998 to 2007 and was founding editor of Modern Magazine from 2009 to 2012.
