Global in scope and extensively illustrated, this unique and innovative new e-journal demonstrates the vitality of art historical and visual culture scholarship undertaken outside English-speaking territories and cultures. Offering high quality English language translations of seminal works presently available only in their source language, Art in Translation offers a fresh perspective on global art practices, history and theory. It covers all areas of the visual arts including painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, design, and electronic media.  

The editors welcome suggestions of texts for translation and publication. These should be addressed to artintranslation@bergpublishers.com.

 A venture like this will contribute to the vital task of making the knowledges of non-English art history available for comparative study, with the ultimate goal of enriching both global art history and the discourses of other localised art scenes. Rueben Fowkes, Research Fellow, Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
