Art in America and ARTnews merge under ARTNEWS S.A. ownership with digital consolidation at artnews.com

ARTNEWS S.A. acquires Brant Publication's media assets, including Art in America, The Magazine Antiques, and Modern Magazine, in exchange for majority shares. The merger combines two publications facing staff reductions and declining advertising revenue. Digital content from both will be unified on artnews.com, while print subscriptions will be bundled under the Art in America brand. Publisher Peter Brant states the goal is to consolidate presence by offering comprehensive coverage of decorative arts, classical arts, and art-related news. The combined company will operate from New York. This agreement was reported by The New York Times.
