The Art Newspaper is a monthly online and paper pubblication about the visual arts based in London and New York. The first paper in the network was started in 1983 by Umberto Allemandi in Turin. Anna Somers Cocks founded The Art Newspaper for his publishing house in 1990, and since 2008 the editor has been Jane Morris.
The Art Newspaper provides an unrivalled news service about the art world, fed by its network of sister editions, which together have around 50 correspondents working in over 30 countries, with editorial offices in London, Turin, New York, Paris, Moscow, Beijing and Athens.
It is published in newspaper, rather than magazine format and it breaks news about all sectors of the visual arts, from museums and heritage, creation, publishing,conservation and the art market. It also covers developments in law, tax and the political and economic spheres of cultural policy.
It is widely regarded as the journal of record for the sector and its readership is as global as its editorial coverage.
Philippe de Montebello, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, called it "an invaluable source of information about art and the art world. It focuses on personalities as well as issues, but eschews gossip and stresses accuracy embracing an editorial policy that consistently reveals a high degree of seriousness and sense of responsibility."[1]
