Afterall is a research and publishing organisation based in London. Founded in 1998 by Charles Esche and Mark Lewis at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London. In 1999 Afterall, a journal of art, context and enquiry, was launched. Afterall offers in-depth analysis of artists' work, along with essays that broaden the context in which to understand it. In April 2006 Afterall Books was launched, with two new strands of publications to complement the journal: One Work and a series of Afterall Critical Readers. One Work is a library of small books, each title focusing on one important work of contemporary art through a single text. Afterall Critical Readers look at significant areas of modern and contemporary art practice through the commissioning and reprinting of a collection of key texts, artists' statements and manifestos. Afterall Online continues the lines of enquiry explored through the journal and the books. It features specially commissioned and regularly updated material including interviews with artists about their art practice, photo-essays and texts on artist's projects, books and events.
