In June 2009, Nomenus Quarterly, a limited-edition
folio of original or previously unpublished images, reduced its print
run to 10 copies from 50 and raised the price for a copy from $2,500
(then £1,500) to $6,500 (then £4,000).
Nomenus Quarterly began publication 2007 under Erik Madigan Heck, its founder and editor in chief. All works are specifically created for each edition or previously unpublished. Nomenus Quarterly appears online four times per year, and additionally in print as a series of limited-edition folios and books.
Erik Madigan Heck was born at 1983. He is an American photographer, a U.S. correspondent for A Magazine, and the founder editor of Nomenus Quarterly. He is also the youngest person to photograph Neiman Marcus' prestigious "Art of Fashion" campaign, which he shot in 2012.
In its April 2011 issue, Photo District News magazine named Heck one of the 30 “new and emerging photographers to watch.”
Heck was born in Excelsior Minnesota. Heck was exposed to art and museums in Minneapolis from an early age by his parents and he began photographing at the age of 14. In 2002, as a senior in high school, Heck received the Alliance for Young Artist & WritersScholastic Art Awards Gold Medal for his work in photography.
Name Nomenus Quaterly found by Heck when he would walk into his building everyday and see this little sign on the door that said "Nomenus." And he never got it. He thought someone had tagged the door. And then one day, like six months later, he realized that it was just "no menus," and there was no space between it. It had taken him that long to understand it, and he thought it was amazing that such little space made me unable to see its true meaning. He thought that was a pretty big symbol for what he wanted Nomenus to be as a publication or as this "thing." And it worked because 95% of people don't get it. They think it's Latin or something profound. And it's really just "no menus."
Heck had been looking at magazines that existed in art and fashion and none of them really functioned the way he wanted a publication to function. None of them are really showcasing worthwhile art or fashion—they're just in a weird in-between place. So he wanted to cultivate very specific idea of aesthetics in art and fashion was, and what he felt was being missed or bypassed by the abundance of mainstream pop culture. He wanted to feature the important artists and designers—not necessarily the trendy new kids and he wanted you to see their work, not their faces...
