ArtReview Celebrates 70th Anniversary with Historical Anthology and March Issue
In March 2019, ArtReview celebrates its 70th anniversary with a special issue featuring a historical anthology that explores art debates and issues spanning seven decades. Initially named Art News and Reviews, the magazine was launched on 12 February 1949 by Richard Gainsborough and designer Eileen Mayo. Rather than highlighting iconic moments, this edition seeks to facilitate broader discussions by revisiting its archives. The anthology is structured by decade and includes contributions from editors such as Oliver Basciano, Mark Rappolt, and J.J. Charlesworth, alongside texts from notable figures like Lawrence Alloway and John Berger. Additionally, the issue offers exhibition previews and reviews from locations including Sharjah, Los Angeles, and Berlin, as well as book reviews like Sovereign Words, edited by Katya García-Antón.
