Selling Art Is Paramount
Each year thousands of the world’s top collectors turn to Fine Art Connoisseur advertisers to purchase
quality artworks. The primary purpose of the publication is to help you sell more art.
R e a c h i n g N e w M a r k e t s
CirculationFine Art Connoisseur has carefully built a readership of quality art-buying collectors and has resisted wholesaling subscriptions to consumers who do not purchase art in order to build giant audience numbers. Circulation has grown 47 percent over the past year through quality distribution channels targeted to affluent art collectors, thus generating more leads for every piece of artwork seen in our pages.
Building the Next Generation of Collectors
As collectors age and galleries lose buyers, Fine Art Connoisseur has built a strong readership
among younger affluent collectors, with 21.5 percent of readers below the age of 44.*
