Art Magazines - Looking for Something New to Read?

Tuesday 26th October 2010

There is a lot of great information out there for anyone that is interested in art and photography. There are endless amounts of blogs, news websites, gallery websites, museum websites, newspapers, magazines and periodicals that help us all to stay up to date with the latest news, reviews and stories from the arts.

While we are unquestionably fans of the internet and the proliferation of news and information via a technical means, we also enjoy a good magazine. Big glossy images and that new magazine smell can't quite be replicated online.

Below we have presented a selection of art magazines that might be of interest to anyone looking to get their hands on some new reading material.

Art + Auction

While primarily aimed to collectors of fine art and antiques, this magazine is actually a greatly informative source about the arts for all audiences. As well as offering insights into the art market and key trends in the industry, the magazine also pulls together articles on some of the greatest artists and photographers to have graced the planet.

The team of writers and researches at Art + Auction are at the top of their game, consistently producing quality material, bundled up into a world class production.

Apollo

Apollo is a notoriously glamorous, and well respected, magazine devoted to painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, interior design and the decorative arts. Containing a heavy dose of images to sit along side some very well written content, Apollo is often a firm favourite for fans of the arts.

Founded in 1952, Apollo offers its readers a great deal of diversity in terms of content, covering everything from antiques, right through to contemporary art. The magazine is also truly international offering insights into art happenings and events world wide.

Creative Review

Creative Review offers perhaps the most diversity on this list, covering everything from design and film to advertising and typography. The magazine makes a sterling effort to cover as much ground as possible in the creative industries without seeming to be stretched or without doing justice to worthy topics.

The magazine launched in London in 1980 and has since grown to have a following in over 80 different countries. The aim of their game has always been to stimulate society into debate about the creative industries and to keep a steady stream of inspirational creativity on the shelves of our newsagents and bookstores.

Aesthetica

Is a thoroughly modern magazine that engages with contemporary art and culture in order to educate, evaluate and celebrate the role that contemporary art and its exponents play within the larger contextual framework of contemporary life and society.

Aesthetica was founded in 2002 by Cherie Federico who, at the time, was studying for her Masters Degree in the Arts. While based in the UK, Aesthetica looks to the international art scene for material that is both compelling and relevant.

Artists & Illustrators

Artists & Illustrators is a practical guide for all professional and amateur artists. Providing inspiration and advice for the practical types amongst us, the magazine offers a wealth of information and imagery that anybody who has a passion for art can enjoy.

Aside from being a straightforward how-to publication, Artists & Illustrators offers interviews with established and up-coming artists as well as news on the latest exhibitions, materials, events and books.
