Buffalo Zine is an independent, London-based biannual publication celebrated for its radical approach to format. Each issue is a complete reinvention - sometimes a 1970s women’s magazine, other times a supermarket catalogue - blurring the line between parody and homage. With its cult international following and uncompromising design sensibility, Buffalo Zine has been called “the most conceptually playful magazine in print.”
Issue 6, The Beautiful Home of Buffalo Zine, is a delirious pastiche of The World of Interiors - a lush and brilliantly ironic celebration of domesticity, decadence and excess. It transforms the familiar language of home décor into something surreal and seductive, where camp and class meet in high gloss.
Featuring Nastassja Kinski, Grayson Perry, Tina Barney, Jon Rafman, Zandra Rhodes, Larry Sultan, Gottfried Helnwein, Mamma Andersson and many others - all photographed in settings that range from IKEA showrooms and soap opera sets to artists’ studios and Hollywood mansions. Contributing artists include Reto Schmid, Andreas Larsson, Bruno Staub, Julian Ganio, Rob Kulisek, Till Janz, Tina Tyrell, Arnaud Lajeunie and many more.
One of the most collectable Buffalo Zine editions - not just because of its sheer scale and lavish production, but because it perfectly crystallises the magazine’s self-aware absurdist aesthetic. Staying in has never looked so glamorous - or so strange.
Very good condition: Clean, bright copy with minimal signs of previous ownership.
