Buy Artwork Online from Best Artwork

Galleries in Australia

Following a global trend in

consumer shopping habits, you

can now select and buy artwork

online Australia wide, rather

than from a shop front gallery or

an auction house. With overseas

shipping and handling costs

being expensive and the high

risk of damage, it is natural for

consumers to seek out original

artwork online Australia first

before looking overseas. The

plethora of Australian talent to

choose from ensures you will

find a home grown work you will

connect with and love.

For the art lover or collector, it is

getting harder to find works in

the traditional retail settings. In

May 2013 The Herald Sun

reported that up to 30% of art

galleries in Melbourne have

closed down during the past two

years with other capitals

including Sydney, Perth and

Adelaide also affected.

However in contrast online

spending continues to rise. The

NAB reported in the August 2013

monthly update that in the year to

August 2013, Australians spent

$14.2 billion on online retail. Roy

Morgan research published in

June 2013 points to a 12 per cent

growth in online retail in the past

year, with 50.3 per cent of

Australian’s now shopping online

in the three months before (March-

June 2013).

The Australian Communications

and Media Authority (ACMA) in

its research report: ‘E-commerce

marketplace in Australia: Online

Shopping’ revealed that the

majority of online shoppers

continue to buy from Australian

websites, citing support of local

industries as the leading reason.

Those with incomes of over

$150,000 were more likely to

shop online. Convenience and

price were identified as the main

reasons for online shopping.

In 2004 Trendwatching.com

conceived the phrase ‘Curated

Consumption’. In an online world

the amount of choice available,

while convenient can be

overwhelming. For this reason the

trend is for consumers to seek

experts to curate the world for

them; in effect to identify the very

best of what is available in a

segment and present a curated

range for to them to choose from in

an accessible online platform.

Online Art Galleries are a perfect

example of curated consumption.

New York based Manhattan gallery

owner Jen Bekman launched an

online site for limited-edition prints

in September 2007 which shipped

more than 40,000 prints in its first

year. Website Art.sy.com filters

over 500 characteristics to create a

powerful search experience for

uses to select works from leading

galleries, museums and private

collections around the world.

In Australia, online art gallery Art

to Art is leading the market with

the opportunity to buy artwork

online Australia wide from a

diverse selection of renowned

and emerging Australian artists.

Art to Art purposefully selects art

works that utilise a variety of

mediums to cater for an eclectic

range of tastes. Art to Art curator

With our exclusive Art Insitu service

you can provide us with a photo of

your room and then see how any of

Online shopping is definitely here to

stay and the opportunities to secure

exciting one.
