Esopus

As a physically created object intended to be handled by readers, Esopus takes a decidedly sculptural approach to paper and the magazine as genre and medium. The result has been a publication that The New York Times has called “a thing of lavish, eccentric beauty.”  From the beginning, established and emerging artists alike have contributed and created special projects for the magazine.

Esopus has distinguished itself by its refusal of advertising and its mission to provide an unmediated experience with art, photography, literature, music, history, and broader streams of culture.
