History
The origins of our magazine date back to 1971 with the founding of Arts Antiques Auctions. For years known as the 'AAA' it was the first bilingual Belgian magazine for art lovers. In order to also serve the art lovers in The Netherlands, the art newspaper Kunst & Antiek Journaal was published from 1996 onwards. A decade later both Arts Antiques Auctions and Kunst & Antiek Journaal were thoroughly reformed: the paper Kunst & Antiek Journaal in black and white transformed into a beautiful color magazine, and Arts Antiques Auctions underwent the same fresh design. Moreover, from then on the latter is available in a full French and a full Dutch version. All these changes called for a new name: COLLECT. The name says it all: it is the magazine for the art collector and active art lover. Just because both magazines are very similar both in form and content - many articles are indeed interesting for both our Belgian and Dutch readers – they share their name. But of course each magazine focusses primarily on the art topics in its own country, to subsequently oversee the international landscape. That way, COLLECT Arts Antiques Auctions (Belgium) and COLLECT Kunst Antiek Design (Netherlands) cover the entire art market in the Benelux and are the market leaders in their domain.
