Founded in 1990, The Art Newspaper quickly established itself as the journal of record for the international art world. Since then, its reputation and influence has grown consistently, with sister newspapers published in Turin, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, and with a network of 50 specialist reporters in 30 countries around the globe. Last month saw the launch of our sister publication, The Art Newspaper France, appearing in digital format and called The Art Newspaper Daily.

In this special 300th edition, our editors and reporters look back through past issues to pick out memorable correspondence, as well as reflecting on the "then and now", drawing on the bank of knowledge and insider insight that The Art Newspaper has accumulated over nearly 30 years.
