Editor’s note: This article is part of a special magazine celebrating 40 years of Arkansas Business. The full magazine is available here.
Beginning with the last issue of 1984 and continuing into 1988, Andrew Kilgore photographed business legends and up-and-comers for the cover of Arkansas Business.
The publication was biweekly then, with a more magazine-like approach to business news than it would adopt after converting to a weekly news cycle in 1990.
It was also printed in black ink only on newsprint, but with a heavier paper stock cover on which Kilgore’s unmistakable style made a striking statement.
