Twen
German arts magazine (1959–1971) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twen was a West German magazine that was published from 1959 to 1971, and known for its innovative design and typography.[1][2]
History and profile
Twen was launched in 1959 as a bimonthly magazine[3] and the first issue appeared in April 1959.[4] The founders were Hans A. Nikel and Hans Hermann.[5] However, there is another report citing the founders as Adolf Theobald and Stephen Wolf.[4]
In September 1961, the magazine became a monthly publication.[3] Willy Fleckhaus was Twen's art director throughout its existence.[1][2] Notable photographers included Christa Peters.[6]
Twen was pitched at "people in their twenties, from 15 to 30", thus its name, Twen.[2] It was read in both West and East Germany.[4] The magazine folded with the June 1971 issue.[4]
