Burlington Magazine

Aims & Scope

The Burlington Magazine is the world’s leading monthly publication devoted to art of all ages and media. It publishes concise, well-written and richly illustrated articles presenting significant art-historical discoveries and fresh interpretations. A not-for-profit enterprise, our primary purpose is to support and promote new research, produced by both established and emerging scholars. For more than 120 years, the Burlington has shaped the understanding of art and its histories. Its archive provides an unrivalled resource that charts how the discipline has evolved. Today this is complemented by a range of initiatives, all of which are intended to inspire the study and enjoyment of art, including collaborations with major collections, writing prizes, lectures and scholarships. There are many ways in which you can connect with and benefit from the Burlington’s work and the research it promotes: through subscriptions, signing up for our newsletters, becoming a supporter, or engaging with the extensive online life of the Magazine. The Magazine is both an enduring work of reference and a running commentary on the art world of today – as well as editorials on topical issues, it features authoritative reviews of all important books and major exhibitions, and our online Calendar is the best available guide to art events throughout the world.
