The only magazine devoted to the great design movements of the 20th century, from Art Deco to Mid-Century, Pop and Post-Modern, with coverage of new products and interiors in a Modernist idiom.

As always, original scholarship, in-depth research and expert opinion — plus boxes and sidebars loaded with useful information about the current state of the market; reports on values and trends; and interviews with today's dealers and collectors. We tell you what to buy, where to buy and how much to pay, and give you as many tips and resources as we can cram in — from museum quality material to stuff you can find at the flea market.

JENNIFER STRAUSS joined Modernism magazine in 2000, upon graduating with a BA in History from Rollins College, in Winter Park, FL. Showing an aptitude for sales and marketing, she was quickly promoted to Director of Advertising. In 2004, she joined David Rago as Co-Publisher. In the past five years, Jennifer has helped transform Modernism from a relatively unknown and hard-to-find publication averaging 72 pages per issue, to an internationally recognized authority on 20th-century design, now boasting 135 pages per issue. Thanks to her efforts, Modernism’s circulation has increased by 100% and ad sales by 400%.  The magazine is now available nationally and internationally at bookstores such as Borders, Barnes & Noble, B. Dalton and Virgin Megastore, as well as on newsstands and in many private galleries and museum gift shops. Jennifer is also Co-Publisher and Director of Advertising for Style 1900 magazine.
