index magazine was a New York-City-based publication created by artist Peter Halley and art critic Bob Nickas active between 1996 and late 2005. Beginning as a low-budget, oversized fanzine, index magazine quickly became one of the most influential small publications in the United States. The magazine covered the prospering indie culture of the 1990s, regularly employing such prominent photographers as Juergen Teller, Terry Richardson, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Ryan McGinley, and had interviews with Björk, Brian Eno, Marc Jacobs, and Scarlett Johansson, and featured the cultural icons like Bjork, Scarlett Johansson, Alexander McQueen, and Ryan McGinley.
