The selection is enormous and diverse. Online galleries do not need to rent physical space so they are not limited. They can offer a wide range of art by artists. Online there is room for the largest sculpture and painting as well as smaller pieces. Media can range from metal to oils, to ceramics, to anything the creative artists can imagine. What gallery can you go to and find so many diverse artists, different media, so many pieces of art? Where else can you find artists from all over the world in one place?

You can browse to your heart’s content at any hour of the day and night. No one follows you around, bugging you with unwanted chatter and details! You can focus on art that appeals to you and challenges you. You can take the time to visualize it in your space.

You can find many art galleries online. However, if you are investing in art you should buy original art. The prices range from hundreds to thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. Often you can buy an original piece of art for the same price you may pay for a print. If you can afford only one piece then buy original art.

When buying art:

Make sure you know the size and medium.
If you love a painting, my recommendation is that you use butcher paper or newspaper and cut out the size of the piece you have fallen in love with. Hang it on the wall to make sure the piece fits.
If you love a piece of sculpture or ceramics or anything that is three-dimensional, make sure you have the space.
Most online galleries do guarantee satisfaction. Make sure you use one that does.

Abstract art gained a new lease on life with the blossoming of electronic and robotic methods of expressing art. Form and color and texture combine in video abstraction as portrayed by the modern abstract artist Nam June Paik, the Korean-born artist who is said to have coined the phrase ‘Information Superhighway.’ Paik used media as they excited his interest, mastering one genre and then moving on to another. He has been called the first video artist, a natural progression from his artistic beginnings as a student of music. When he was inveigled by John Cage and other composers as well as conceptual artists to work in electronic art, he was more than ready to tackle another genre. He used both working and discarded television sets in his art, saying that he catered to the American admiration for ‘bright shiny things.’ Whether his art is sculpture or electronic is difficult to say, so fluid are his techniques.

Traditional art on canvas has not been forgotten in the last fifty years. If minimalism is defined as ‘multiple use of a single entity’, then abstract art contains minimalist elements, as pictured by the tightly-bound appearance of George Ortman’s works, perhaps the most famous being ‘Narcissus.’ ‘Narcissus’ may look like two diamond shapes whose tips touch surrealistically, but the geometrical quality of the flower is outstanding and the white discs inside the center of the rows of primary colored stripes, which make up the middle of the diamond shapes, take the naturalistic shape of a flower and glean the clean shapes from the curves. Ortman’s works use symbolism, not normally the case in abstract art, yet the meanings of his shapes are plain: a square equals intellect, a circle means sensuality and a triangle signifies ethics. His work has a tremendous moral and spiritual weight that feels authentic. Ortman has embraced abstract art in his artistic vision of minimalism and his use of primary colors is masterful.

Why not peruse the differing ranges of abstract art and find just the right genre for your taste? You may want to think out of the box or you may want the reassurance of quality that comes from a well-loved genre, but the piece of art on your wall will have a good home with someone who can think and learn about the fascinating steps that abstract art has taken lately. Abstract art on the computer is another genre, not something to hang on the wall, but to enjoy every time you boot up and visit your favorite museum site or individual artist’s gallery. Of course, if you are adventuresome, you may take a Photoshop tutorial or two on the internet and create your own art!

Outdoor wall art allows you to create an open air gallery as large as your imagination will allow, while adding another dimension to your garden area. This decor brings the gift of wonder back into your life and your surroundings.

Finding the right piece of art can be a daunting task. Here are a few of examples you should look for to complete your style of decor. If the rest of your decor is of an antique design, look for romanticism or impressionism. For a more traditional outdoor wall art try vintage or retro art. For contemporary or modern you can select art deco, pop art or abstract. Whichever style you are certain to find a variety of colors, shapes and sizes to fulfill your needs.

By my pool area I have hung upon the walls a piece of art of a beach front scene. There are sea gulls flying around with the view of rushing waves. Whenever I am gazing at it I seem to be transported into total relaxation. Around my fence I have outdoor wall art of hummingbirds feeding, cardinals bathing and blue jays in flight. Last week I added a small picture of a fury mother and baby squirrel scampering up a tree with an acorn in the mom’s mouth.

If you’re seeking that special gift, this can also be your answer. I have a good friend that moved away and I had a piece of art custom made for her. From a photograph a company was able to replicate her family standing around her old house. To this day whenever we talk there is always a comment about that painting and how much it meant to her.

The sculpture “Maman” is a 9 meter (30 feet) tall female spider made of stainless steel. It is black in color and has a sac under its belly in which she carries 26 pure white marble eggs. Long thin legs support the small body of the spider. The sculpture radiates elegance in entirety. While building the sculpture, Bourgeois paid careful attention to details, such as the placement and the finishing of the legs of the spider, in order to achieve a well-balanced structure.

A work of ‘Symbolism’ centered on the complications of relationships, the giant arachnid though looks threatening; the eggs she holds in her belly however, give her a sense of vulnerability. The way she seems to cling to her eggs demonstrates her protective maternal instincts. The overbearing size of the spider is intimidating, yet intriguing. Bourgeois gave “Maman” a playful and mystical character. It exudes an emotional power over the sub-conscious. To some it may appear like a magical creature, who accidently stepped out of some fairy tale, while others find its presence haunting like an old abandoned memory of pain or fear.

Louise created “Maman” in the memory of her mother. Bourgeois’ mother was a weaver and ran a business of tapestry restoration. Bourgeois felt the egg-carrying spider was an apt metaphorical symbol for her mother as it displayed a character of strength and nurture. She believed like her mother that the spiders are friendly creatures and are protective, as they eat disease-causing insects. Several bronze casts of the fantastical “Maman” grace various museums, such as Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao, Spain), Samsung Museum of art (Seoul, Korea), Mori art Center (Tokyo, Japan), Jardin des Tuileries (Paris, France), and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa, Canada). The next bronze cast of the “Maman” will be placed in Des Moines, Iowa in August 2009.

The art buying public is increasingly ‘time-poor’, and so online sales are a natural progression. As a necessary evil, traditional brick and mortar galleries have a limited amount of space on their walls for displaying works of art. In contrast even the smallest and simplest website can easily host thousands of images and pieces of art, making it easier than ever for potential buyers to browse to their heart’s content. This also means that buyers no longer need to deal with persistent gallery owners and sales people out to make a commission off of every sale. Instead they can look at as many pieces as they like over a relaxing cup of coffee!

Many artists have their own websites where they sell art online. Most of them start off on this venture with an attitude of “If I build it, they will come” and unfortunately this is not quite the way this business works. Helping potential customers find your website can be quite the challenge, but fortunately marketing yourself online is something that you can learn how to do. Making your personal website stand out amongst the crowd of millions of other websites on the internet is a tall order and not something that many people want to try to do because it can be difficult and time-consuming. Since many art buyers don’t have the time or the inclination to try to look through dozens of personal portfolios and websites, you might be wondering how exactly you can sell art online and find an interested buyer?

Over the last few years a lot of online galleries and artist portals have appeared, and they have been enormously successful in helping people to sell art online that they have created.. While some are set up to charge a commission like many traditional on the ground galleries, others are funded by membership fees or a flat rate per sale. There is a huge variety of sales models, but with each comes a different degree of quality control, another major concern for artists and buyers alike.

A primary consideration for an artist who wants to sell art online is the quality of other work for sale on the site you want to join. Some sites have no selection or screening process at all which means anyone in the world can call themselves an artist, and this is not necessarily the kind of visibility to you want if you are going to be a serious artist and make a career in the industry. Without a solid submission or selection process, many sites quickly get overwhelmed with pieces of work and it can become difficult for buyers to browse the site to find quality pieces.

So what are the other options? There are a number of options available to those artists and buyers seeking a refreshing new experience with an online art gallery. Few galleries, like ours, are unique because they allow buyers to interact directly with artists and charges 0% commission on sales made through their websites. The prospect of saving as much as 50% – 60% on the purchase of a piece of art is a very attractive one to buyers looking for that perfect price for their home or office. many buyers dislike having to pay steep commissions to traditional on the ground galleries, and online galleries are leading the pack in creating a new trend in the art market.

A cautionary reminder for artists who want to sell art online; be careful of where and how you market your work. The old saying that ‘the message is the medium’ is very true in this situation. Of course you want to generate visibility for your work and attract potential buyers, just take care to ensure that it is the right kind of visibility. Pay attention to the details as you research ways to market yourself effectively, and look at sites where you might consider hosting your work. We hope you found this article useful.
