The Guardian today announces that Adrian Searle, its chief art critic since 1996, will step down from his full-time role at the end of March. A prominent figure in global arts journalism, Searle’s three-decade tenure has been defined by a rare ability to write about art for a mass audience with authority, honesty and humour.
Searle’s final article, a look back at the past 30 years and what he’s learned, will appear on 1 April. He will continue to contribute occasional articles to the Guardian.
