History

Art Collector was launched in 1997 in Sydney, Australia. Shortly after its foundation the magazine was briefly in the news when text from one of its articles was used without acknowledgement by art critic Robert Hughes, when writing for Time magazine.[3]

In 2009, Art Collector published its first Guide to Indigenous Art Centres. In the same year it also published the Guide to Public & Regional Galleries and the Collector's Guidebook, a directory of services for art collectors.

In 2019, Art Collector published its latest edition of the Guide to Indigenous Art Centres, which featured stories on ethically sourcing Indigenous art and how to be certain of provenance. The latest Guide to Public & Regional Galleries is due for release in late 2020.

gollark: Or in my case complex "solid state farming" machines which grow trees in magic boxes.
gollark: REAL minecrafters set up industrial-scale deforestation machinery.
gollark: > emotions tell us as much about our environment and circumstance as touch or smell or sightThey really seem more like convenient brain heuristics than some sort of actual sensory input.
