"The Art Market Report emerged like a young artist and has continued with the high expectations it first showed. I think Alison is terrific: a good lively editor of the highest profile in that world. She is like a fox: in and at everything. It has achieved an intriguing thing, in that it is reporting on the art market, while maintaining the integrity of the world in which it is involved. When one thinks of it, one thinks of art, not shares, it is most decidedly a report on art. "
Stuart Purves, Australian Galleries, September 2008

"The Australian Art Market Report is a unique publication that serves an ever growing audience for fine art."
John McDonald, Art Critic, The Sydney Morning Herald

"As a local artist I am glad to have found such an amazing resource. More artists should be aware of The Australian Art Market Report simply because of the engaging responses from contributing editors and the art community at large"
Dee Adams

“The Australian Art Market Report is for serious art collectors and investors”

The Art Market Report (Est. 2001) focuses specifically on the art market in Australia, New Zealand and the emerging art markets of the Middle East, South East Asia, China, Korea, Japan and Russia.

The Art Market Report is a unique magazine that focuses on all aspects of the art market from artist run spaces through to the secondary auction market.

Although the magazine has an Australasian focus, it also covers the international art market and the new emerging markets around the world.

The Art Market Report is read primarily by art collectors and those working in the arts industry.

In 2009 the Art Market Report includes a new section Art Business, edited by Dr Iain Robertson, head of Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art, London. This section comprises up to date news and data on the international art market.

• Art Business: a review of the international art market.
• The Report includes news snippets from around the world.
• Independent and unbiased editorial
• Critical analysis
• Factual reporting, not hype
• Challenging opinions
• A forum for collector's debate
