Collector's Focus: Art of the Portrait

August 2026 Issue Special Feature

Our Collector’s Focus: Art of the Portrait and the complementary Portrait Artists Directory is one of our biggest and most popular issues of the year, and the 17th edition is sure to be the same. Collectors, art lovers and artists have been drawn to portraiture for centuries. From formal commissioned works to more candid portraits of a captivating model, the art of capturing the essence of a person on canvas is one of skill, intuition and patience. This issue features leading portraitists from around the world and the galleries that represent artists working in the genre. Don’t miss this dual opportunity to reach collectors of portraiture nationwide. Artwork by Kesja Tabaczuk, Arcadia Contemporary.
