Art in America, the sister publication of ARTnews, has released its Summer 2025 issue featuring profiles of 20 emerging artists selected as "New Talent." The list includes artists from around the world working in various mediums, such as Agnes Questionmark, Aislan Pankararu, Alejandro García Contreras, Alison Nguyen, and others. This marks a continuation of the magazine's long-running "New Talent" designation, which began in 1954 and ran regularly until 1966, was relaunched in summer 2021, and has continued since.
The "New Talent" designation matters because it has historically identified significant emerging artists early in their careers, with past honorees including now-iconic figures like Donald Judd, Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, and Joan Mitchell. The list serves as a barometer for the art world's evolving tastes and helps spotlight diverse voices and practices that may shape contemporary art in the years to come. Profiles will be published online in the weeks following the print issue.
