ART & ANTIQUES for collectors of the fine and decorative arts shows considerable growth as a journal. The quality of production values has increased and so has the content. For example, the current issue covers well-written articles ranging from 'The Rise of Sculpture' ('Into the Third Dimension' by Sallie Brady), to 'Chinese Classics', to 'New England Museums' to 'Avant-Garde Toys'. And if that spectrum doesn't appeal to the reader, then open the journal and find excellent in depth beautifully illustrated essays on Leonora Carrington called 'Nobody's Muse' by Edward M. Gómez and a rich article by Editor John Dorfman 'Golden Opportunities' in which he follows trends and sales of Chinese antiquities.
There are articles on current events such as the many art fairs around the world, reviews of art books, and notes on concepts being discussed at this time in the art world. The ads are well constructed and vary from decorative arts resources to contemporary galleries to auction houses. The color reproduction throughout is excellent and the quality of paper is far better than the magazine's competitors. This is a magazine worth investigating as a subscription. Grady Harp, September 11This great magazine blends articles about antiques and fine art and craft in a way that is accessable to collector and novice alike.The layout is clean and well designed with insightfull but not stuffy text.I look forward to receiving this magazine. The grade of the paper and the quality of the photos and print is of collectible quality. The articles are very educated and informative. I also enjoy the ads and the auction listings, etc.
