How we define the terms used across our editorial coverage, so reviews, studio visits, and collector guides stay transparent about their scope.
Our studio features are based on at least one in-person or documented remote walkthrough with the artist or designer. We note when a piece was observed only through supplied materials, and we do not claim access we did not have.
Reviews reflect the works as installed on the day of our visit. If a show changes after publication, we add a dated note rather than silently rewriting the original assessment. We also disclose when a gallery provided press materials or images.
Budget advice in our guides is general and based on market observations, not personalized financial counsel. Price ranges are illustrative and shift with the market; we always recommend verifying current figures with the gallery or platform directly.
Restoration features describe the process as shared by the designers or homeowners. We do not verify every technical claim on site, and we flag when a detail comes from a single source rather than independent observation.
Profiles are editorial, not promotional. We do not accept payment for coverage, and we state when an artist is represented by a gallery that also advertises with us. Representation does not change the content of the profile.
Photographs in our articles are used with permission or under fair-use terms for criticism and commentary. When an image is supplied by an artist or gallery, we credit the source in the caption area of the original print edition.
Questions about a featured artist, a submission for an upcoming issue, or feedback on a review can be sent directly to info@renaehanvin.com. For time-sensitive matters, call +91 844 8058547 during working hours, Monday through Friday, 10:00 to 18:00 IST. Studio visits and interview requests should be submitted by email at least two weeks in advance so we can coordinate with the artists and photographers involved.
We reply to most messages within two business days. Press inquiries and collaboration proposals may take up to five business days, as they are reviewed by the editorial board. If your message concerns a correction or a factual issue in a published piece, mark it as such in the subject line and we will prioritise it. For common questions about subscriptions, reprints, or image usage, check the FAQ page first — the answer is likely already there.
From the first pitch to the printed page, every edition of Renaé Hanvin follows a deliberate path. We keep the process transparent so contributors and readers know what to expect at each stage, and where their input fits.
Writers and photographers send a short proposal with the artist, studio, or exhibition they want to cover. We look for a clear angle and a reason the story matters now, not just a general interest in art.
Once a pitch is accepted, we spend two to three weeks gathering material. This means studio visits, recorded conversations with the artist, and reading past reviews to place the work in context.
The first draft comes back with a structural edit, then a line edit. We cut anything that repeats the artist's own statements and push for concrete observations about materials, light, and process.
Images are selected to support the text, not decorate it. We work with the photographer's contact sheets and the artist's archive to find frames that show how a piece was made, not just how it looks finished.
Every name, date, and exhibition title is verified against the artist's CV and gallery records. The layout team then sets the piece in our editorial grid, keeping white space generous and captions accurate.
The issue goes live, and we share it with our subscribers and the featured artists. We read the comments and emails that follow, and they often shape the questions we bring to the next studio visit.
