The world’s leading contemporary art magazine debuts with Urban Vision Group
ARTnews, the longest-running and most authoritative international publication dedicated to contemporary art, founded in New York in 1902, officially arrives in Italy and joins the editorial network of Urban Vision Group.
The project is born from the collaboration between Urban Vision Group’s cross-media vision — bringing cultural content beyond traditional channels through its Digital Out of Home network — and the editorial expertise of the Istituto dell’Enciclopedia Italiana Treccani, which will lead ARTnews Italia’s editorial direction with Massimo Bray as Editor-in-Chief.
Across all its formats — print, digital, social, newsletters and content distributed through Urban Vision Group’s urban digital screens — ARTnews Italia fits into the company’s broader strategy of transforming public space into a shared cultural platform, where information, creativity and critical thinking reach new audiences.
ARTnews Italia introduces a new editorial model: a global perspective on the contemporary art scene, featuring original interviews, in-depth reports on exhibitions and collections, and contributions from leading Italian and European scholars and critics in constant dialogue with the international art world. Launching in January as a quarterly print magazine and digital platform, it brings to Europe for the first time a global editorial reference point in contemporary art.
The debut issue features a special cover commissioned to Marcello Maloberti, one of Italy’s most recognizable contemporary artists, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the storytelling of today’s art scene.
