The Online Art Market: New Ways to Discover Art

The online market has come a long way since the first online art businesses emerged in the late 1990s.

The online art market is slowly but surely following in the footsteps of other industries such as music, publishing, and film. As technology improves and the internet becomes increasingly relied upon by the art world, the online art market is gaining relevance and importance. But what does this mean for collectors, galleries, auction houses, and other market players?

The Online Art Market offers significant potential for helping collectors with their everyday art needs. For example, a collector can use the web to research an artist before making a purchase, or find out more about an artist they already collect. With the click of a button, a collector can find out what exhibitions an artist has coming up, or browse through a gallery's collection to get a better sense of an artist's work.

The online art market also provides new opportunities for galleries and auction houses. For instance, galleries can use the internet to reach out to new audiences and promote their artists without relying on brick-and-mortar locations, while auction houses can use online platforms to sell works that may not fit into traditional sales models. Whether you are a collector, gallery owner, or auction house professional, it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in the online art market!
