Artforum magazine has seen major changes following the firing of its editor in chief and the fallout from the controversial publication of an open letter about the Israel-Hamas war. The December issue has been affected by these events, with a noticeable decrease in size and a number of resignations from the editorial team and contributing writers. Artforum’s owner, Penske Media, has issued statements attempting to address the situation but has faced criticism from former editor David Velasco and others. The controversy has extended beyond the magazine itself, impacting the art world and resulting in protests, resignations, and vandalism. Amidst all this, the future of Artforum remains uncertain.
