To our readers

Artworldsalon started almost exactly a year ago. More than a hundred posts and myriad accompanying comments later, we’re ready to move to the next phase.

When we founded artworldsalon, our goal was not just to create an outlet for our own writing and thinking. It was to bring to life a broader venue for informed debate on artworld matters.

As regular readers will have noticed, we have enlisted more commenters to the site. By this fall, you will see some fifty invited panelists—all of them professionally active in the artworld, whether as artists, collectors, dealers, curators or writers—popping up in artwordsalon on a regular basis. They will report on developments and offer perspectives from around the globe, starting new discussion threads and adding more depth and range to the salon.

As we broaden our circle, the guiding spirit and principles of artworldsalon will be unchanged. We will strike a balance between news and opinion, rigor and humor, expert insight and open conversation. We will value depth over speed and keep the pace of posting moderate to allow for ample discussion on each topic.
