FORVM

FORVM was an Austrian monthly cultural and political magazine, published in Vienna from 1954 to 1995, founded by Friedrich Hansen-Loeve, Felix Hubalek, Alexander Lernet-Holenia and Friedrich Torberg with the financial and logistical support of the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF). Torberg also edited the magazine from its start in 1954 to 1965.[1] In 1965 Günther Nenning took over as editor and in 1986 Gerhard Oberschlick.

The magazine was distributed internationally and instigated ideological debates. In 1995, the magazine closed down due to financial difficulties. In 2004 a complete reprint was published.
