Flash Art is a bimonthly magazine focusing on contemporary art. It was founded in Rome in 1967 by Italian publisher and art critic Giancarlo Politi. The magazine has been based in Milan, Italy since 1971. Originally a bilingual publication, it was split in two separate editions, Flash Art Italia (in Italian) and Flash Art International (in English), in 1978 when Helena Kontova joined the editorial team. It also publishes Flash Art Czech & Slovak Edition and Flash Art Hungary.
Since 1980 Flash Art has an editorial desk in New York. Jeffrey Deitch, founder of Deitch Projects and former director of theMuseum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles was Flash Art's first U.S. editor; he was followed by Francesco Bonami, currently artistic director of Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin and of Pitti Immagine Discovery in Florence, artistic director of the 2003 Venice Biennale as well as the 2010 Whitney Biennial; Massimiliano Gioni, currently artistic director ofNicola Trussardi Foundation in Milan, associate director and director of exhibitions at the New Museum, New York and artistic director of the 2013 Venice Biennale; and Andrea Bellini, currently director of CAC in Geneva.
It has been described as "the confident, international journal of European and North American contemporary art, and features interesting viewpoints on American art from a European perspective."[1] Flash Art extensively covered the Arte Povera artists in the 1960s, before they became known in the English speaking world.[2]
