ABOUT

Beyond the artwork. Inside the art world.

ARTCOLLECTORNEWS is an international digital art magazine exploring contemporary art, collecting and the people, ideas and mechanisms shaping the global art market.

Founded by Jonathan Fakinos, the magazine was born from a passion for contemporary art and a belief that conversations about art should extend beyond galleries, art fairs and auction rooms.

With a background in international exhibition curation, art advisory and creative entrepreneurship, Jonathan has spent years working alongside artists, collectors and cultural professionals across Europe and the United States. His experience in London, Miami, New York and Madrid has shaped the magazine's international perspective and its commitment to connecting artistic communities.

ARTCOLLECTORNEWS looks beyond the artworks themselves to explore what happens behind the scenes of the art world. From the economics of collecting and art investment to the relationships, institutions and decisions that influence artistic value, we aim to make the often-complex workings of the art industry more accessible.

Through independent journalism, interviews, exhibition coverage and art market intelligence, we bring together cultural insight and practical knowledge, offering readers a deeper understanding of how art is created, exhibited, valued and collected.

Our platform also includes ARTCOLLECTORHOMES, exploring collectors and the stories behind their collections, and The Arts Directory, connecting the art community with specialist professionals and services.

Whether you are a collector, artist, industry professional or simply curious about art, ARTCOLLECTORNEWS invites you to discover the stories, perspectives and conversations shaping the art world.

Because understanding art means understanding the world behind it.
