Shoppers at Dover Street Market New York will notice a new addition to the space starting today. Artforum, the international contemporary art magazine, has opened its first retail space inside the 7-floor shopping center in Manhattan's Rose Hill neighborhood.

Working with experimental architecture firm formlessfinder, Artforum built an unconventional bookcase-like structure out of thousands of the magazine's important back issues. Curated by its editor-in-chief Michelle Kuo, some of titles date back to 1969 when the publication was less than a decade old.
