The new issue of Art in America, ARTnews’s sister publication, features profiles of 20 “New Talent” artists selected by the editors as significant figures to watch. The list draws on artists from locations all over the globe and working in all mediums, each of them emerging in their own ways.
The Summer 2025 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 in the years since. Historically important artists identified as “New Talent” in the 1950s and ’60s include Donald Judd, Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, Alfred Leslie, Norman Lewis, Joan Mitchell, and Marisol. More recent honorees include Precious Okoyomon, Tourmaline, Raul De Lara, Somaya Critchlow, Amanda Ba, Mohammed Sami, Lotus L. Kang, and more.
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 2025 group of “New Talent” artists:
