Cultured magazine hosted a party at the Twenty Two in New York to celebrate Sophia Cohen's appointment as arts editor-at-large. Cohen, a former Gagosian associate director and founder of the consultancy Siren, will write a monthly column called "In the Know." The event, timed to Frieze New York, brought together figures including fashion designer Kim Shui, writer Nate Freeman, art advisors Ralph DeLuca and Sandy Heller, artist Rogan Gregory, critic Johanna Fateman, collector Lucas Hoffmann, and David Zwirner senior director Lucas Zwirner.
The party underscores how art magazines are increasingly blending social networking with editorial content, using high-profile appointments and exclusive events to deepen their influence in the art world. Cohen's background as a gallerist and consultant positions her as a bridge between commercial and critical spheres, and her column aims to provide insider access to key players and trends. The gathering also highlights the continued importance of Frieze New York as a social and professional hub for the art community.
