EDITOR’S LETTER
A Tale of Two Covers
One Of the distinct jOys Of editing cOmpaniOn editions at C&G Media Group is the opportunity to experiment and have fun. As the editorial director of HC&G and NYC&G, I am allowed the unique ability to switch things up from issue to issue, always keeping our content and our readers’ interests in mind. ■ Our company’s magazines, which also include CTC&G, are like siblings: They share the same DNA and speak the same language, but they also have distinct personalities. That’s why on HC&G’s September cover, for example, I was able to run a picture of a sweet sitting area on a lakeside dock in upstate New York, complete with speedboat, whereas NYC&G’s cover boasted a more graphic image: an industrial-chic patinated white metal star hanging on the dark-chocolate siding of a home in Wainscott. For October, I’m having just as much fun, particularly because the composition of each title’s cover is essentially the same: A work on paper, a sculpture, and a chair. But, like siblings, they have their differences. One boasts drawings by Nathalie Decoster, a late-19th-century terra-cotta bust, and a Thomas Hope–style Regency stool, and the other a print by Félix GonzálezTorres and Christopher Wool, a chrome Tangle sculpture by Richard X Zawitz, and a 1963 Steltman chair by Gerrit Rietveld. As with most things in life, true freedom comes with options, and I’m always really grateful to have them.
