The Art Newspaper (and the other newspapers in the network) aims to remedy these obstacles to approaching the world of art. It recognise that the art world is part of ordinary life. For example, exhibitions do not happen just because someone thinks it would be nice to put a certain group of art together. In reality, there is a complicated combination of factors, which includes high finance, international diplomacy and the aspirations of museum directors.
It report on old art, new art, decorative art, the commercial and the non-commercial world—but it is very careful not to mix the last two up, as that lead to puffery, another of the besetting sins of art publications. It want to know and show where the power lies in the art world.
The Art Newspaper - an investigative newspaper: It regularly publish breaking news (for example, the story about mega-collector Sheikh Saud al Thani of Qatar’s hugely inflated invoices and his relations with dealers and auction houses) that gets taken up by the daily papers.
