Its name comes from the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, which Zhukova opened in 2008.[4] A Russian-language edition of the magazine was launched in March 2013.[5]

In July 2016, Garage Magazine became a wholly owned subsidiary of Brooklyn, New York–based Vice Media.[1]

On May 15, 2023, Vice Media formally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as part of a possible sale to a consortium of lenders including Fortress Investment Group, which will, alongside Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital, invest $225 million as a credit bid for nearly all of its assets.[6]
