Welcome to the September/October issue of American Fine Art Magazine. In this issue, we bring you our Museums & Exhibitions Collector’s Focus, featuring more than 20 pages devoted to historic American artists and the exhibitions celebrating their work across the country. Museums and American Fine Art Magazine go together like a masterpiece and its frame. Each enhances the experience of the other. Museums preserve the history, scholarship and stories behind American art, while our role is to help collectors discover what is on view, understand why it matters and, most importantly, inspire you to experience it for yourself.

The 2026/2027 museum season gives us plenty to celebrate. Across the country, new exhibitions explore nearly every realm of historic American art—from impressionism and illustration to portraiture, landscapes and the many distinctly American genres and styles in between. For our readers, museum exhibitions offer something that books, auction records and reproductions cannot: the opportunity to stand directly in front of an important work and experience it as the artist intended. You see the brushwork, scale, color and details that you simply won’t fully appreciate on a page or screen.

When you are finished with the special museum section, keep turning the pages. We have five gallery previews featuring important works available for you to own. That is what makes this issue magical. You can experience American art in our nation’s museums, learn more about the artists who created it, and then discover works that could become part of your own collection. There is a remarkable year of American art ahead. Get out, visit a museum, discover something new and perhaps bring a piece of American art history home with you through our pages. 

Best Regards,
