Lema Publishing has been publishing Art Buyer Magazine for over four years and has become essential reading for everyone involved in the art licensing industry.
As ever, trends play a massive part in the art licensing cog, enabling retailers and buyers, out for a slice of the next big thing, to see that licensed artwork can tick all their boxes and provide the mass market appeal they are look for. Editor Rachel Redhead spoke with Bridgeman Art Library for their take on trends for 2012.

Copies of Art Buyer Magazine have been distributed to thousands of image buyers and will be available free in the Greetings & Stationery zone at the Spring Fair. 5-9 Feb.
