MODERN PAINTERS, the UK-based art publication and the best-selling non-US art publication in the

This episode in the quarterlys evolution is commemorated with a special American issue, available on
newsstands on September 16th, and will be heralded by a series of events in three major stateside
cities, Seattle, San Francisco and New York. In San Francisco the launch of the American issue will
be celebrated at the San Francisco Art Institute on Monday, September 30th with a discussion between
Richard Wolheim and T J Clark on Painting as an Art in 2002.
