History
Art on Paper was originally founded in the late 1960s as The Print Collectors Newsletter and for more than twenty-five years, under the direction of Jacqueline Brody, it provided collectors of limited edition prints, photography, and artists' books with a highly respected resource. In 1996, the newsletter was purchased by Gabriella Fanning, who changed its name to On Paper, expanded its coverage to include drawings, and converted it to a journal format. Two years later, in 1998, the publication became Art on Paper, a full-color magazine. It maintained an editorial commitment to works of all periods, from Old Master drawings to contemporary multiples. Today, Art on Paper magazine is published by Darte Publishing LLC, which is owned by Peter Nesbett, Shelly Bancroft, and Sarah Andress. Darte Publishing LLC also publishes the book Letters to a Young Artist.
Many of today's most prominent art critics and art writers have written for Art on Paper magazine at one point or another, or served on the editorial staff. Among them, Tim Griffin, Nancy Princenthal, Holland Cotter, Arthur Danto and Vicki Goldberg.
