History

Art Collector was launched in 1997 in Sydney, Australia. Shortly after its foundation the magazine was briefly in the news when text from one of its articles was used without acknowledgement by art critic Robert Hughes, when writing for Time magazine.[1]

Features and publications

The magazine is best known for its annual features 50 Things Collectors Should Know, Art Under 5k, Undiscovered and the Annual NATSIAA Roundup, which are referenced by other sources and collectors.[2][3]

In 2009, Art Collector published its first Guide to Indigenous Art Centres. In the same year it also published the Guide to Public & Regional Galleries and the Collector's Guidebook, a directory of services for art collectors. In 2019, Art Collector published a new edition of the Guide to Indigenous Art Centres, which featured stories on ethically sourcing Indigenous art and how to be certain of provenance.

Art collectors featured in the magazine have included Simon Mordant, Corbett & Yueji Lyon (Lyon Housemuseum), John Kaldor, Gene Sherman and Colin & Elizabeth Laverty.
