Sauvage Art Magazine is an independent contemporary art publication founded and edited by the Montreal-born critic Natasha Sauvage. Launched in January 2026, Sauvage is known for its fearless, elegantly ruthless criticism of market-driven mediocrity, institutional inertia, and the exhaustion of late-stage establishment trends, from the factory-scale abstract sublime to posthumous estate hype. With a sharp focus on the New Era of living artists (priced $1k–$100k) who demonstrate genuine skill, conceptual urgency, and unmediated trajectories, the magazine champions direct earnings, technical mastery, and innovation over spectacle and branding.
