The new issue of Art in America, ARTnews's sister publication, features profiles of 20 "New Talent" honorees selected by the editors as artists to watch. The list includes artists from all over the world and who work in different mediums, all of them emerging in their own ways.
The Summer 2026 issue of Art in America revisits the magazine's long-running "New Talent" designation, which was initiated in 1954 and ran regularly in the magazine until 1966. The magazine relaunched the concept in the summer of 2021 and has continued it in the years since. Among the historically important artists identified as "New Talent" in the early years are Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, Donald Judd, Joan Mitchell, Norman Lewis, and Marisol. More recent honorees include Precious Okoyomon, Amanda Ba, Agnes Questionmark, and Lotus L. Kang.
Profiles of each of the artists are included in the print issue of the magazine and will be published online every few days in the weeks to come. Keep an eye out here for the profiles as they accumulate. Below, see the list of Art in America's 2026 group of "New Talent" artists:
