Online sales of artworks are rising as technology becomes more advanced
The art world takes a giant step forward by giving artists an online presence through virtual galleries
Virtual art galleries have taken the internet by storm in recent years. While major international art fairs such as the globally renowned Art Basel and Frieze art fairs, and emerging art fairs such as the Asia Contemporary Art Show which is held twice a year, bring together artists and galleries from around the globe for easy viewing and access for interested clients looking to buy, the general consensus seems to be that it is no longer enough.
According to industry experts, online channels are offering avenues for emerging artists and new buyers to interact with established artists, sellers and buyers. As trust and technology grow, so does the level of interest in this new way of buying art.
