Art & Auction

Art & AuctionAnyone involved in one way or another in the art market should be an Art & Auction reader. Each issue covers different areas of collectibles, from Asian art to contemporary painting, from old masters to wine, from XVIIIth century furniture to Art Deco, and so on. There is a monthly artist dossier, delivering valuable insight into his or her career, style, key periods, price level, etc, and a regular in-depth coverage of the major public sales. Contributors are all long-time experts (Souren Melikian, Judd Tully...)and the illustrations of the works of art are often of a very high quality. Undoubtedly the irreplaceable bible of the art market.

Cancelled my subscription after just a few issues. It just does not have enough bang to justify the cost. At $100 per year. Also felt rather impersonal and cold. Art is beauty and one should always feel at home in it's company. This magazine did not have that tone, it left me cold.

Love the magazine. After 40 years working as a portrait painter it's the only art magazine I read. Plus carefully wrapped and delivered when and as described.
