BlackBook is an arts and culture magazine published bi-annually to print and online. Founded by Evanly Schindler in 1996 as a quarterly print publication, covering topics ranging from art, music, and literature to politics, popular culture, and travel guides.
Since 2020 the brandâÂÂs daily coverage appears online as BlackBookâ¯Presents, whose Artâ¯+â¯Impact projects include the 2022 SothebyâÂÂs Los Angeles exhibition âÂÂâÂÂA WomanâÂÂs Right to PleasureâÂÂâÂÂ.
Schindler sold the magazine to Ari Horowitz in 2006. Vibe Holdings, whose investors include Ron Burkle and Magic Johnson, purchased the company in January 2012, forming Vibe Media. In June 2013, Vibe Media Holdings sold BlackBook to Schindler and Jon Bond of the ad agency Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners.
