Magazine of the Week

Hi, everyone!

Today we look at another oldy-but-goodie, Art in America. This title was founded in 1913 by Frederic Fairchild Sherman, who was a noted collector and art critic of this era. The focus of the magazine was originally on old master paintings (think Rembrandt or Titian) in American collections. More recently the title has covered the art market that feeds into museums of modern and contemporary art and the art criticism that feeds that market.

Like most current magazines, this one has a website.

News & Features

Like other titles I’ve written about, the website expands on the original print concept considerably. In this case, the online version includes more theoretical discussion of the place of museums, how the digital universe has changed them, and changes in the ideas of what “art” is.

The Art in America magazine website continues to review art exhibitions at major world museums and galleries, as well as write about the projects of contemporary artists and art galleries.

The website also has digital versions of the magazine going back to 1980.

It’s at the PERS desk on the 6th floor of the library. Come take a look!
