Art Auction Magazine With Better Options For Subscribers
By Jane Lovell
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 review
new artists or galleries, 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 art auction magazine
is the perfect catalyst.
Editors’ Pick In Art & Antiques
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.
Easy To Search For Upcoming Fine Art Auctions
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. For $30/month, subscribers can perform 10 database
searches (or $80 for a professional who plans to make
30 searches per month).
More Options For Subscribers
While one can read many of the articles on the site
for free, the subscription-based service allows art
collectors to research how much their artwork is worth
and find the best deals on much-coveted pieces. Rare
works can be viewed by artist and specific market changes
can be monitored.
Art + Auction Magazine is a professionally-written,
$80/year print publication for the most discerning art
enthusiasts. Read about a Dutch Collector’s strange
collection of 15th Century seals that he installed in
his home, get the scoop on what wines you should sample
at the next art auction, read a letter from an art collector
in Dubai, dig into a feature on photographer Ansel Adams
or find out who’s "warring over Warhols."
Highlight Positive Impact Of Art
The focus of the art auction magazine is the positive
impact of art on people, businesses, politics, science
and education around the world.
British art collector Charles Saatchi once said, "There
are no rules about investment. Sharks can be good. Artist’s
dung can be good. Oil on canvas can be good. There’s
a squad of conservators out there to look after anything
an artist decides is art."
Subscribers of an art auction magazine will get the
inside scoop on the convoluted world of art appraisal
and will also ensure that they get the best deals on
contemporary and fine art for sale.

How do I get my art piece appraised?
There are many options when it
comes to getting your art work appraised. The first
is to stop by the local university, college or art museum.
You can find knowledgeable people who can at least point
you in the right direction.
There are also online appraisals
that can give you an estimate of the worth going on
the information you provide. Of course you will want
a physical appraisal and the websites can also give
you a listing of area appraisers near you.
