Dear Friend, The idea of visiting this web site has been given me by the Head of an Art Library in Australia and I ve been a subscriber to it ever since. I believe my periodical wouldn t be a nuisance sort of stuff for your site because I think it will fit in with your Library's plans. Among our subscribers and contacts currently are the Western States Arts Federation in Denver (Colorado), "Monarch" Contemporary Art Centres in Washington State, major Art Libraries and Galleries the USA, Australia (National Gallery of Art in Canberra), New Zealand, Britain (National Art Library in London), Switzerland, etc. It will be quite an honour for us to see our periodical in your Library. We wish to introduce ourselves as a new bilingual art magazine from Russia "ART-Chronika" about Russian visual arts, contemporary art in particular (www.artchronika.com). Obviously your readers will benefit from our magazine, because it's the only magazine from Russia of that kind - bilingual, interesting, professional, full colour, high quality ("it's worth it" as you say it). ART-CHRONIKA ART-Chronika magazine is the first bilingual (English-Russian) comprehensive art periodical from Russia about visual arts, contemporary and old Russian art, antiques and nationally recognised and young Russian artists. It is also directed at the professional art market participants (dealers in fine arts and antiques, purchasers and sellers etc.). ART-Chronika is a by-monthly periodical, which will keep you abreast of all the news and developments in the Russian art market and business The best Russian art critics write for our magazine and moreover we have partnership relations with a number of museums and art galleries in Moscow and Russia. Starting from January 2001 it will be published monthly. ART-Chronika is a full colour, high quality periodical of 160 pages with a circulation of 30.000 (for the forthcoming issue). There are 4 more issues in our plans for 2000. The subscription is US$ 26.00 for the rest of 2000. Delivery is by international mail. We offer TNT's delivery of US$ 37.90 for Europe and US$ 49.20 for the rest of the world and US$ 15.10 by the Russian Certified Post (that is hand-to-hand and it takes a week longer than TNT s). And there are special prices for Libraries(!). The magazine is distributed throughout Russia to top businesses, hotels, fairs, museums, shops, art schools and academies, government institutions, offices of major foreign companies etc. and around the world. ART-Chronika is the most important means, which is designed to promote Russian Art and Antiques and help pave the way for the Russian artists to win international acceptance. Now we have come to the next stage of our development and are increasing our exposure to the outside world. We are looking for new partnerships abroad with distributors, culture authorities, art colleges, universities, galleries, art and antique dealers, museums, libraries, the Media etc., who are interested in the Russian art, contemporary, in particular. We have a network of our own agents and dealers in Russia and ready to offer a wide range of good quality and reliable services.
