Tendencias del Mercado del Arte is a publication that cannot be missing from the bookshelf of any collector or art lover. You can subscribe to its print edition at this link or download old content here.

If you are looking for an online portal where you can consult news from the art market, we recommend that you visit their Market section, where you will find information regarding artists and art auctions.

Ars Magazine

Ars Magazine is a publication specializing in art that seeks to offer the most demanding readers unpublished and documented information on topics related to collecting, painting, sculpture, photography, design, or art and antiques auctions.

It is an essential tool to keep abreast of what is happening in the art world, discover emerging talents and new pictorial proposals, as well as to know the opinion of experts.

Directed by Fernando Rayón Valpuesta, Ars Magazine has a print edition of incredible graphic quality that can be purchased quarterly at different points of sale throughout Spain, in addition to also offering a digital version that will allow you to keep up with the latest news on the national and international cultural and artistic agenda.

Bonart Magazine 

Bonart is a Catalan publication founded in 1999 by artist and collector Anna María Camps and cultural manager and art critic Ricard Planas in collaboration with journalist Narciso Planas.

Since the publication of its first issue on November 19, 1999, the Bonart Cultural Group has published almost twenty thousand pages in which more than three hundred collaborators strive to dissect the artistic panorama.

Prestigious artists, art critics, gallerists, museum directors, writers, researchers, and journalists contribute their grain of sand in these pages, making the Bonart Cultural Group a benchmark in our country's publishing scene.

Written in Catalan, although with translation into different languages, Bonart Magazine offers updated and contrasted information on the main topics of the artistic scene, as well as interpretative and opinion articles by important personalities from the art world.

If you are a reader looking for a place to keep up with art world appointments and events, we recommend that you visit Bonart's digital newspaper at this link.

On the other hand, if the digital world seems cold to you and you still prefer the charm of the traditional smell of printed paper, you can also access old issues of Bonart by visiting its online archive or purchase new ones by subscribing here.
