Wonder what's going on in New York City studios? Want to know why art certification is a nightmare for one owner of an Andy Warhol? Are you up to speed on the antiquities scandal at the Getty Museum? Read an exclusive with photographer Ansel Adams or get a glimpse at Middle Eastern jewelry and art in the next issue of an art auction magazine.

Art & Antiques focuses on art crimes, travelers in search of international art, art book reviews, emerging artists and practical articles on art collecting. Collectors can find reviews on new artists and books here as well. It's really easy to find an appraiser who would like to take a look at one's collection by simply sending in a photo of the items in question.

The highlight of this particular magazine is the "Editor's Pick" section, which gives the busy art lover a quick glimpse of the essential articles. Some October articles include: Enter the surreal and whimsical world of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, Demand for antique garden ornaments is on the rise among American collectors and WEB EXCLUSIVE: Private dealer Joan Mirviss opens a brick-and-mortar location in New York. Subscriptions cost $40/year for 12 print issues.

ArtNet online magazine lets people browse their catalog of works by modern contemporary artists, track the art market and peruse the price database. One of the magazine's highlights is the easy-to-use section to search for upcoming fine art auctions. Look up galleries, artists and events with one mouse click! Some October topics include: Hidden Depths In the Drawings of Domenico Zindato, The Frieze Art Fair In London, Why You Should Give a Crap About Chris Ofili's New Paintings and Shirana Shahbazi's New Work Reacts Against Images of Iran.

For $30/month, subscribers can perform 10 database searches (or $80 for a professional who plans to make 30 searches per month). While one can read many of the articles on the site for free, the subscription-based service allows collectors to research how much their artwork is worth and find the best deals on much-coveted pieces. Rare works can be viewed by artist and specific market changes can be monitored.

Art + Auction Magazine is a professionally-written, $80/year print publication for the most discerning art enthusiasts. Read about a Dutch Collector's strange collection of 15th Century seals that he installed in his home, get the scoop on what wines you should sample at the next art auction, read a letter from an art collector in Dubai, dig into a feature on photographer Ansel Adams or find out who's "warring over Warhols." The focus of the art auction magazine is the positive impact of art on people, businesses, politics, science and education around the world.

It's never fun to receive just bills in the mail. An art auction magazine is something to look forward to, something to browse on that half hour break at work or on a Saturday afternoon at the beach. These magazines are essential to anyone who's ever visited an art museum or an art auction house and wondered, "How much is this worth" or "What was the painter thinking when he made this brush stroke?"
