Artnet Magazine, Digital Publishing Pioneer, Folds after 16 Years

Brace yourselves, art and design lovers: artnet Magazine is no more. The pioneering online art magazine is ceasing publication, effective immediately. Artnet’s French- and German-language publications are also being folded. The abrupt decision “is an economic one,” according to the brief announcement posted today to the magazine’s website, “and reflects the fact that during its 16 years of digital life, the magazine was never able to pay its own way.” Archived artnet content will remain available on artnet.com,
