Art Collecting 101 in Dwell this month
Finally a reasonable article about collecting and understanding art - without the phrase "you have to love it". Clearly you have to like what you spend your money on - but the emphasis on the love aspect is ridiculous. Dwell this month devotes about 11 pages to how to collect and stay on top of the art market. It's not pedantic nor is it too highbrow. There are two pages of FAQ's covering shipping, hardware and framing, placement, preservation and insurance.
This is really the best article that I've ever seen on starting a collection - Dwell is available where most magazines are sold.

Well, I dunno. I drove 5 miles to the bookstore, bought the April 2006 issue of Dwell, took it home, leafed through it cover to cover twice, - there's no Art Collecting 101 article anywhere, only a "Landscape Architecture 101" one. Even the cover looks different from the one you posted.
Was this perhaps an April 1st joke?
My guess if the cover was different - it was probably a different issue.
It is definitely in the issue that is on the blog.

Can you check it if it's the April 2006 issue for sure, not March or May?
I'll let you know tomorrow.
