Art Observed
Visit the Art Observed art blog.
Art Observed first caught our eye as an art blog based in New York, but covering the major art events throughout the world. This seemed counter-intuitive to us – after all New York is the art capital of the world – but the concept was enough for us to get us reading, and we are glad we did.
Being in the middle of such a busy art scene, and being able to look out on art events and scenes elsewhere around the world is clearly a great leveller. Art Observed does a great job of cutting past the hype that those caught-up in could struggle to get past. The result is that we find Art Observed not only regularly identify the most newsworthy events in the art marketplace to cover, but go on to provide incisive coverage.
Art Observed also provide readers with the further reading links for each entry, and a large selection of profiles of living and deceased artists, galleries, museums, and collectors. The result is a great way for busy readers, to quickly obtain the differing levels of information they need.
We would guess that this art blog is at least partially aimed at collectors of auction-class art, who want a watching brief of the art market, and the flexibility to explore events of interest to them in more detail. For these readers, and any others interested in keeping a watching brief on the art market, Art Observed is one to add to your RSS reader.
