Here we are again, this time, rounding out our ninth year with 7,000 pages of Articles, Profiles, and Announcements in our growing archive and over 10 million visits strong. A very exciting journey it has been
, indeed. With our ninth year anniversary Prescription, we continue to move forward.
From its conception, Artpil strove to profile artists, museums and galleries, along with other entities in the art world, and put forth articles and interviews, reviews and exhibition guides, as well as general musings related to all that is modern and contemporary in the world of art. We have succeeded in building a network of individuals and organizations helping to deliver our mission. We have since covered some remarkable subjects.
In our early days we followed festivals and art fairs, from Frieze to Basel, and Biennales from Venice to Berlin; We have since revisited them and added to the itinerary Expo Chicago, Busan Biennale, Design Shanghai, Bienal São Paulo, SPARK Art Fair Vienna, and Belfast Photo Festival. We had descended on Design in Milan, and The Armory in New York; we continue with DESIGNART in Tokyo, the Sydney Festival, Luxembourg Art Week and London Art Fair along with PRIZM and CHART. We followed everything from FIAC to Paris Photo, ARCO to Volta and Latin American Foto Festival, and mirrored the movable feasts of Documenta in Kassel and Manifesta in Palermo. We had sprung for La Nuit Blanche, and ran with MOMENTUM and RIBOCA, turning in Concéntrico and going Beneath the Surface with Rencontres d’Arles, Festival d’Avignon 79th Edition, Art Paris 27th Edition, miart 28th Edition, Getxophoto and Photo London 2026,

We were Being Modern, Being Infrastructural. Being Human. Adding to this the other landmark exhibitions: Vital Signs: Artists and the Body at MoMA Museum of Modern Art New York, Andreas Gursky’s Retrospective, Work in Color of Vivian Maier, Aperture Photographs, The Spreads of Robert Rauschenberg, Retrospektive of Saul Leiter, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s Fly in League with the Night at Mudam, Sean Scully The Passenger at MSU Zagreb, Deana Lawson landmark travelling Exhibition organized by ICA Boston/MoMA PS1 continuing to the High Museum of Art, Frank Walter, A Retrospective at MMK Frankfurt, Tyler Mitchell’s I Can Make You Feel Good organized by the ICP, and MoMA’s Companion Pieces, Sally Mann’s unforgettable A Thousand Crossings, Gregory Crewdson: Retrospective at Albertina, Irving Penn’s Exhibition at the Grand Palais, An Art of Changes by Jasper Johns at the Walker Art Center, as well as covering on location the Walker’s collection on loan of American Art at Palazzo Strozzi.
We were Pursuing the Whole in a media partnership with Muzeum Sztuki. We did a double take with Plásmata 3 We’ve Met Before, Haven’t We? and Isaac Julien: I Dream a World. We exposed the Corps et Ames from the Pinault Collection, FACT Liverpool with Christopher Kulendran Thomas & Bahar Noorizadeh, From the Roster at Hamiltons, Peter Morrens at M Leuven,
We covered the late Martin Parr’s Global Warning, and his collaboration with Nadia Lee Cohen for the book Julie Bullard pubblished by IDEA, and Corinne Day & Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides published by MACK. We published the exposé interview with Neo Norte by our own Chiara Causo, We heard the Art of Noise and took on The Assault of Illusion, and covered Nan Goldin’s landmark This Will not End Well. And with such poetic titles as Alec Soth’s I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating taken from Wallace Stevens, we could not resist.
We have you to thank, each and every one of you, for being with us as we continue to move forward. Welcome to your world.
Create. Engage. Inspire.
