A New Year
Welcome to 2021 and the January/february issue of American Fine Art Magazine. As the market continues to open again, our magazine serves fine art collectors better than any other in this market. Fine art collecting has not only survived, but it has thrived in these past few months. This is our annual Museum Issue and it is spectacular, with articles on a number of important exhibitions that will be on view around the nation, whether virtually or in person.we also made the decision to upgrade our paper for 2021. This provides better images and color for you—the reader, the gallery and the auction house as you peruse through the pages.
Our features and preview sections showcase upcoming museum exhibitions as well as our “Art Market Updates” and comprehensive calendar of events. Just getting to know this title as publishers, we find it to be our flagship in collecting and understanding fine art. As you are aware, due to COVID-19, American Art Week in Newyork did not occur, which was disappointing to everyone. Forming new connections and visiting old friends year after year are part of what make that anticipated week in New York so special. However, the show must go on virtually and the auction houses saw solid results despite the challenges faced this year.
Our job is to report results to you from our auctions. We provide this in three ways. In the pages of the magazines, on social media and on our website. Check out the results for Bonhams’ American Art sale and Christie’s American Art and T. Boone Pickens sales in New York, as well as sales for Santa Fe Art Auction, Grogan & Company, John Moran Auctioneers, Heritage Auctions and Brunk Auctions. It is a good time to be a fine art collector. The investment pieces are available, the ability to buy and collect is hot right now, and as you curate your collection we are here to guide you!
