摘要：As the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art (ANZJA) enters its fifth decade ofpublishing, it approaches the status of venerable: it has a history and legacy toconsider. During this time the baton of editorship has been regularly passedbetween art history departments every four years or so in the name of democracyand also renewal. The most radical year was 2000. As if re-enacting Dante’s journey through Hades, onto Purgatory and up to Paradise, the new millenniumseemingly provoked ANZJA to leap from its Eurocentric origins into the Pacific.This new orientation was announced with a change of the masthead: theAustralian Journal of Art morphed into the Australian and New Zealand Journal ofArt. In that inaugural year, the baton had passed to Heather Johnson and DeborahMalor. Fired by this new impetus, from the offices of the Power Institute theydoubled production to two issues per year with a combined total of 500 pages. Noeditorial team, including them, has since matched this output.
