Between 1921 and 1939 the magazine was published under the title Art in America and Elsewhere.

A number of well-known artists have been commissioned to design special covers for the magazine. Edward Steichen did one for its 50th birthday; Alexander Calder, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana also created covers. For its 100th birthday the magazine planned special covers by Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Urs Fischer.{{cite news |first=Carol |last=Vogel |date=22 November 2012 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/23/arts/design/christies-selling-art-with-the-rockefeller-name-attached.html |title=Christie's Selling Art With the Rockefeller Name Attached |work=New York Times |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230722092120/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/23/arts/design/christies-selling-art-with-the-rockefeller-name-attached.html |archive-date= Jul 22, 2023 }}
