Third Text is a leading peer-reviewed academic journal covering art in a global context. After founder and editor Rasheed Araeen's earlier art magazine Black Phoenix, which started in 1978 and published only three issues, Third Text was launched as a theoretical art journal in 1987. The journal was edited by Jean Fisher (1992–1999), followed by Richard Appignanesi (2008–2015) and Richard Dyer (2015–present).
