    In the Jan. 25 issue of The New York Observer, we profile Walter Robinson, the editor in chief of Artnet magazine, who has been in the New York art world now for a full four decades. The slide show at left takes a look at Mr. Robinson’s career, from his early years publishing the storied Art-Rite magazine to his time as a leader in the late-1970s Colab through his art career as a member of the Pictures Generation and editor for Art in America, the East Village Eye and Artnet magazine.
