Buying Art Online: Five Award-Worthy Web Galleries
The “Best of the Behemoths” award easily goes to PicassoMio, which serves up more than 20,000 works from 2,000 artists around the world.
Of primary importance, the site—which has an “art jury” that screens applicants—does a solid job of weeding out the Sunday-painter schlock that pollutes most mega-sized online galleries. Many of the artists here have degrees from reputable art schools and have “real-world” representation; some of the work wouldn’t look out of place in the showroom of a Chelsea dealer.
Almost as important as the quality and breadth of work are the site’s technical adornments and buying policy.
