BlackBook is an arts and culture magazine published bi-annually to print and online. Founded by Evanly Schindler in 1996 as a quarterly print publication, covering topics ranging from art, music, and literature to politics, popular culture, and travel guides.[1]

Since 2020 the brand’s daily coverage appears online as BlackBook Presents, whose Art + Impact projects include the 2022 Sotheby’s Los Angeles exhibition ‘‘A Woman’s Right to Pleasure’’.[2]

History

Schindler sold the magazine to Ari Horowitz in 2006.[3] Vibe Holdings, whose investors include Ron Burkle and Magic Johnson, purchased the company in January 2012, forming Vibe Media.[3] In June 2013, Vibe Media Holdings sold BlackBook to Schindler and Jon Bond of the ad agency Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners.[4]
