The Art Newspaper
The Art Newspaper is an international publication specializing in news, events, and analysis of the visual arts market, founded in 1990 by Italian publisher Umberto Allemandi and British art historian Anna Somers Cocks as an extension of the Italian monthly Il Giornale dell'Arte, which Allemandi established in 1983.[1] Its English-language international edition, launched in 1992, operates from offices in London and New York, delivering a monthly print magazine exceeding 100 pages alongside daily online updates, newsletters, podcasts, and special fair editions produced at events like Art Basel and Frieze.[1] Supported by over 50 correspondents across more than 30 countries and a network of sister editions in languages including Russian (Moscow, since 2012), Chinese (Shanghai, since 2013), French (Paris, since 2018), and Turkish (since 2023), it covers auctions, exhibitions, institutional developments, market data, and policy matters with a focus on empirical reporting and commentary from art-world practitioners.[1] Acquired in 2023 by Hong Kong-based AMTD Group—which encompasses its UK, US, and French operations—the publication upholds editorial independence while producing annual reports on global museum attendance and forthcoming exhibitions that serve as key references for the sector.[1][2]
