Art Review has relaunched and is hoping to get its first ABC figure after 50 years on newsstands.
The magazine's July issue will feature a complete new design highlighting the magazine's contemporary art focus and will have a new editorial staff.
Editor-in-chief John Weich said: "We are a magazine of contemporary art and the culture of contemporary art. By contemporary art we mean what is happening now and what is happening tomorrow?"
He added: "We are trying to create a brand, a brand that feeds and taps into work with the contemporary art community."

Weich said: "It is a stage-by-stage process. We have already kind of gone through the first initial stage, which is approaching."
New recruits to the title illustrate its growing ambition, with a number of appointments from the style and fashion press.
