The East Village Eye was only in publication for eight years, but the magazine left a huge mark on the neighborhood it chronicled. The East Village Eye, nicknamed the Eye, was a monthly magazine dedicated to covering the art, music, fashion, and politics of the East Village. At its peak, the magazine had a circulation of 10,000 copies per month and was available in New York as well as outposts in San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. The magazine was known for its gritty, irreverent tone and its coverage of underground and counterculture movements. The Eye appeared at just the right time, capturing the rise of several influential scenes as they flourished in the bohemian landscape of the village .In January 1987, the East Village Eye published its last edition and recently the East Village Eye archives were acquired from Leonard Abrams by the New York Public Library. CONDITION: Near Fine; a complete, clean copy with expected toning to newspaper pages, signs of handling to covers and a shallow fold across the middle. Nice copy of a fragile publication.
