I was reading Eric Winklemans blog about a month ago and noticed he was on record as being almost done with the major art magazines on the whole. Frankly it’s hard to disagree with that. Which brings me to Art Papers (www.artpapers.org) I’ve been reading Art Papers for about the last year and although it has a slight regional focus, it is seriously focused on expansive discourse on new art. I find it to be the one art magazine I return to between issues.
However I will say that the level of art criticism on the web is less than stellar. Blogs are doing a great job on news and ideas about art, but serious criticism has yet to take a firm hold. Artcritical and Maverick Arts Magazine are probably some of the best. But I want it even better than it is right now.
