Flash Art is a bimonthly magazine focusing on contemporary art. It was founded in 1967 by Italian publisher and art critic Giancarlo Politi. The magazine has been based in Milan, Italy, for 40 years, with editorial desks in New York and London. Originally a bi-lingual publication, it was split in two separate editions, Flash Art Italia' (in Italian) and Flash Art International (in English), in 1978.

Giancarlo Politi Editore, besides the two magazines, publishes different books and catalogues, including Art Diary International, a directory that lists addresses and phone numbers of artists, critics, galleries, and musems.

In 1993 Giancarlo Politi opened the Trevi Flash Art Museum in his hometown, Trevi. He currently edits the magazine with his wife and fellow art critic Helena Kontova.
