Art in America, the sister publication of ARTnews, has announced its Summer 2026 "New Talent" issue, featuring 20 emerging artists selected by the magazine's editors. The list includes international artists working across various mediums, such as Joeun Kim Aatchim, Jenny Calivas, Kiah Celeste, Malo Chapuy, Mitchell Charbonneau, Isaiah Davis, Elizabeth Glaessner, Juliana Halpert, Craig Jun Li, Kinlaw, Koyoltzintli, Kyung-Me, Chyrum Lambert, Terran Last Gun, Satchel Lee, Claudia Pagès Rabal, Ren Light Pan, Emma Safir, Frank Wang Yefeng, and Alexa West. Profiles of each artist appear in the print edition and will be published online in the coming weeks.
This issue revives a tradition that began in 1954 and ran through 1966, relaunched in 2021. Historically, the "New Talent" designation has spotlighted now-iconic artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, and Donald Judd early in their careers. By continuing this series, Art in America plays a key role in identifying and promoting the next generation of visual artists, influencing collectors, curators, and the broader art world's attention on emerging talent.
