Welcome to the July/August issue of American Fine Art Magazine! We are dedicated not only to bringing exceptional art to collectors, we also want to be a resource for you in all aspects of managing your collection, from expanding it, vetting it or consigning pieces with a dealer or auction house. We want to provide an educational foundation that helps you navigate all of the sectors of the historic fine art market. We hear most often that as soon as you acquire a new piece of historic or decorative art, you want to learn more about the artist—their life story, their process and influences—to enrich your appreciation of the artwork.

How can American Fine Art Magazine’s vast library of content be of assistance? Start with our website. As a subscriber you can log in and search any artist by name, and every article and feature the artist has appeared in over the last 10-plus years will be at your fingertips, and available to print. Second, visit our online bookstore (www.internationalartmagazineshop.com/collections/books)  where you will see a library of important art books that you can purchase to complement your collection. Finally, our podcast channel, the American Art Collective. We have more than 325 interviews with prominent figures in the historic American art world, including gallery owners, dealers, museum curators and more. Tune in on Spotify, Apple or Audible—it’s definitely worth a listen!

Excellent features await you inside. Sarting on Page 42, we highlight an exhibition at the recently re-opened estate of Daniel Chester French; and on Page 78, a story about a 50th anniversary retrospective for impressionist F. Edwin Church (not to be confused with Hudson River School painter Frederic Edwin Church—another reason to read the article!). This will get you started. I must mention that this issue contains our popular Collector’s Focus on historic landscape paintings. Turn to Page 50 to learn more.
