Nomenus Quarterly, the world's most expensive magazine, has raised its price from $2500 a copy up to $6500. The price hike comes by way of editor Erik Madigan Heck cutting the number of print copies from 50 to a mere 10 per issue.

So, given the current economic climate, it’s a little cheeky that Erik Madigan Heck, the publication’s founder and editor in chief, has slashed the print run to 10 copies from 50 and raised the price to $6,500. For the cost of an entry-level Birkin, the new, seventh issue includes work by the artists Anselm Kiefer and Lucian Freud, the photographers Adam Fuss and Roger Bollan, and a tribute to Ann Demeulemeester men’s wear — shot, by Heck, in the style of the Italian photographer Mario Giacomelli’s studies of young priests. Bless.

The pricey periodical profiles the world's elite in the realms of art, culture, and fashion; if you want to circumnavigate the not-quite-recession-friendly price, you can view the magazine for free at the official website.
