Newspapers can be a great place to look for exhibition reviews and art market news. As you search for news online, you may hit paywalls if you view too many articles on a publication’s website. To get around this, you can find the articles in the newspapers the library subscribe to. The only downside is that the platforms these newspapers are on sometimes scrub the images from the article due to licensing issues.
