Founded in 1998 by Charles Esche and Mark Lewis at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London, Afterall focuses on contemporary art and its relation to a wider artistic, theoretical and social context.

In 1999 Afterall, a journal of art, context and inquiry, was launched. Afterall offers in-depth analysis of artists' work, along with essays that broaden the context in which to understand it.
