Contemporary is a visual arts magazine, published every month. Founded and edited by Keith Spencer in 1992, it was originally called Contemporary Art. It later changed name to Contemporary Visual Art and CVA, finally settling for Contemporary in 2002.

Its website claims that it is the world's most widely distributed arts magazine, with an estimated international readership of around 7,500. Contemporary was based in Bermondsey, south-east London, but moved its administrative offices to Panama City to start a Spanish-language edition in 2007.

In May 2009, it was reported that the magazine hadn't paid its contributing writers for over a year. [1]

The magazine is published by Brian Mūller, who currently serves as editor and publisher, following the resignation of Emiliano Valdes in December 2008.

Contents

The magazine contains news, features, interviews and reviews focused on contemporary visual art. Damien Hirst, Maurizio Cattelan, Terry Riley, Matthew Barney, Pipilotti Rist, Yoko Ono and Tracey Emin have all featured in the magazine. Contemporary's marketing strategy includes the distribution of specially commissioned limited edition prints by well-known artists free to its subscribers.
