I most often read Art in America, which I subscribe to.
I think it covers the most territory in an affordable and
readable format. Despite the name, it covers international
art, not just American. I pick up ArtForum occasionally. It
has more in-depth articles, but can be a bit 'chewy' for
a casual read, and is definitely on the more conceptual
side of contemporary art. Juxtapoz can be fun, as it covers
more counter-culture/punk types of art as opposed to 'fine
art'. Art Papers is one I used to read back when it was
just a B&W-on-newsprint regional tabloid out of Atlanta
(where I've never been), because the writing was so
consistently good. It's gone on since then to be quite
glossy and slick and less regional, but still has some
good writing.
Sculpture is a magazine I also subscribe to, though it's
one of the few magazines that actually costs more for a
subscription than to buy it on the newsstand. That's
because it comes with a membership to the International
Sculpture Center, which tries to be an umbrella organization
a bit like NCECA (and a bit not.) Up to you whether the
benefits of membership are worth the extra. It is mainly
contemporary in its outlook. Sculpture Review is very
traditional/historical/Beaux-Arts its orientation, but
sometimes interesting. American Craft is one I used to
subscribe to for the sake of its very materials-based
subject matter which I like, but lately it has become more
show and less substance. I still do glance at it, but seldom
buy.
