Welcome to the first
edition of Art Print
Issues! It is a pleasure
to deliver this new
digital newsletter
dedicated to the art print
business to you.
API’s mission is to
inform and inspire
artists, print publishers,
galleries, suppliers,
distributors and those
interested in the
business of art prints.

to be reached in book
format. “How to Profit
Market” is the result of
that realization.
In researching for the
book, I found a
surprising lack of useful
art print marketing
information. The need
for a dynamic and
regular source reporting
on the state of the print
market, something

For my part, I will strive

and opinion on the state
of the art print business,
including how prints are
produced, marketed,

trends affecting all
aspects of art prints.
The decision to create

available in June. Given I
was finishing details on
publishing a book, building
and launching the Website
to promote it, and
gathering content for the
newsletter, the schedule
was a tad too ambitious.
Thanks to all who have
subscribed and for your
patience in waiting for this
inaugural issue.
Look around; there has not been a
reliable source of insight and
information on the art print
market edited for artists and
publishers—until now.
