An art auction magazine isn’t just about where you can find contemporary art for sale. It’s not a mere compendium of fine art auctions or contemporary art prices. Art auction magazines aim to introduce readers to new artists or galleries, provide interviews with master painters and photographers, offer ideas on innovative ways to collect and decorate, and report on late-breaking news in the shadowy world of art crime. The best way to explore a hobby or interest is to immerse oneself in it, which is why an auction magazine is the perfect catalyst.

Art & Antiques focuses on art crimes, travelers in search of international art, art book reviews, emerging artists and practical articles on art collecting. Collectors can find reviews on new artists and books here as well. It’s really easy to find an appraiser who would like to take a look at one’s collection by simply sending in a photo of the items in question.

The highlight of this particular magazine is the “Editor’s Pick” section, which gives the busy art lover a quick glimpse of the essential articles. Some October articles include: Enter the surreal and whimsical world of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, Demand for antique garden ornaments is on the rise among American collectors and WEB EXCLUSIVE: Private dealer Joan Mirviss opens a brick-and-mortar location in New York. Subscriptions cost $40/year for 12 print issues.

ArtNet online magazine lets people browse their catalog of works by modern contemporary artists, track the art market and peruse the price database. One of the magazine’s highlights is the easy-to-use section to search for upcoming fine art auctions. Look up galleries, artists and events with one mouse click! Some October topics include: Hidden Depths In the Drawings of Domenico Zindato, The Frieze Art Fair In London, Why You Should Give a Crap About Chris Ofili’s New Paintings and Shirana Shahbazi’s New Work Reacts Against Images of Iran.
