ArtReview is one of the world’s leading international contemporary art magazines. Founded in 1949, it is dedicated to expanding contemporary art’s audience and reach. Published nine times a year, the magazine features a mixture of criticism, reviews, previews, opinion, reportage and specially commissioned artworks, and offers one of the most established, in-depth and intimate portraits of international contemporary art in all its shapes and forms. In 2013 ArtReview was joined by its sister magazine ArtReview Asia, now published four times a year, which brings a fresh and exciting new voice to the dynamic and fast-changing art scenes of the Asia region, as well as covering Asian art presented outside of the region.

In the January & February 2026 issue, ArtReview presents its annual Future Greats special, in which it asks artists and writers to nominate someone they feel is doing work that deserves more attention: artists to look out for in the years to come. Under the coverline ‘Life Outstrips Our Vocabulary’ (a quote from sometime ArtReview contributor John Berger, taken here as an argument for why one might look to art as a way to describe and perhaps understand the world), this edition highlights the work of six artists and collectives, from Asia, Africa, Europe and North and South America. The issue also includes profiles of the artists Emilija Škarnulyte and Berenice Olmedo; an evaluation of the posthuman present through the practices of three artists; an annotated extract of A Square’s (Edwin A. Abbott) 1884 text Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, columns on Black cultural value and the coming crisis in museology; reviews of current exhibitions from around the world; and a look at new books, from the latest English translation of Geetanjali Shree to the (invented) love letters of Jacques Lacan; and a comic strip by Woshibai.
