Asian Art Newspaper – About Us

Here’s a little about us at Asian Art Newspaper. Launched in 1997, the newspaper’s goal is to offer a snapshot of what’s happening in the world of Asian and Islamic art. Our world is truly international – East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian and Himalayan arts. We also cover Islamic-world arts in each issue. Each edition covers the most important exhibitions, events, and auctions from around the globe.

News

News is important to us, as are the people who make the news. Every issue has an interview or profile with an artist or expert. We cover all the major international exhibitions, auctions, fairs and events to keep you up to date. Other sections include the performing arts, film, and literature to link the past with the present. Plus there is a dedicated page for the Islamic world: Islamic Arts Diary.

Special Guides During the Year

During the year we produce special guides that cover the main Asia weeks  – New York and London – to help you discover where to go and what to see. Each November issue we focus on the arts of Japan and in December publish an annual book reviews and survey of the year.

In Every Issue of Asian Art Newspaper

Features always cover a wide range of topics from exhibitions, travel, people and books. There are reviews of major exhibitions around the world, but we also take care to include the smaller, but no less important ones. Auctions, fairs, and gallery shows are found at the back of the issue.

Two Quarterly Editions

June and December are quarterly issues, where we fill the newspaper with profiles and interviews. Here we speak to artists, curators, collectors, gallery owners, authors and conservationists. A travel section is also included in the quarterly issues, where we cover the Asian and Islamic worlds.
