The World’s Most Expensive Magazine!

An image from the new issue of Nomenus Quarterly. Like the rest of the original images in the magazine, the photo was taken by Nomenus’ founder Erik Madigan Heck.

Nomenus Quarterly, a limited-edition folio of original or previously unpublished images, typically costs more than your average It bag.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.

Lifestyles of the Rich and (yawn) Jaded. The first shots are really cool, but let’s face it, you can find these kind of images n almost every photography artsy magazine.
