What is driving success in the art world?

Hosted by

The Art of Seeing Magazine features the next generation of artistic talent.

The new publication for the international art world and creative community offers a fresh and more open perspective on artists at the intersection of culture, creativity and luxury.

“I believe art should create more inclusivity and collaboration. The Art of Seeing aims to shake things up and to bring new blood into a historically conservative world. We represent talent from around the globe and act as a connector between artists and creatives, gallerists, curators, art advisers and auction houses, as well as brands that have creativity in their DNA and truly embrace art and culture” — Anne Kaerst, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Art of Seeing Magazine.
