To carry out the qualitatively new art researches it is necessary nowadays to form a clear system of typology. We have suggested our more complete system of typology of Kyiv’s modern art periodicals and characterized them by some typological features, namely by place of publishing and ownership, subject, periodicity, purpose, volume, circulation, etc. The theoretical aspects of the Ukrainian contemporary art studies and the historical periods when art was developing the most, mainly the Ukrainian art abroad, are the main problems raised on the pages of these publications. The unknown pages of the Ukrainian art and culture are also highlighted, and the creative personalities who contributed to the promotion of the Ukrainian art culture in the world are presented.
