I would take exception to describing John Coplans's editorship as one that "roughly coincided with a shift towards more fashionable trends and away from late modernism." The shift, while away from late modernism, was by no means merely fashionable, given that significant space throughout Coplans's tenure was given to tackling socio-political issues in the art world. Proof that this was not fashionable, came when Coplans's was dismissed, along with editor Max Kozloff, by the publisher, Charles Cowles in December 1976. See on this issue, Thomas Crow, "Art Criticism in the Age of Incommensurate Values: On the Thirtieth Anniversary of Artforum" in Crow's book Modern Art in the Common Culture, pp. 86-87. See also numerous comments in Amy Newman, Challenging Art: Artforum 1962-1974.
