In its beginnings, ASRI addressed questions about the multiple social factors that intervene in the art world: the impact and transcendence of politics, the economy, and culture; matters of trade, jurisprudence, management, and valuation of works of art; the social situation of the artist, patronage, mercantilism, collecting, the role of art galleries, foundations and other institutions that promote and support artistic activity.
In September 2018, José Ramón Alcalá and Tomás Zarza take charge of the new era of the magazine from the Rey Juan Carlos University, renewing its skin under a new direction and proposing new approaches to face the challenges of digitization, the network society, and the digital humanities.
