Steve, as readers will know, was Editor of the magazine for the past two years and a regular correspondent since it started. Mark, Steve's partner was a mainstay, helping in his spare time with all aspects of production. The loss to the magazine and the art world, not to mention their friends and colleagues is immeasurable. A full appreciation will be published in the next issue.
