Why Online Art Galleries Are Changing the Way We See Art
Why Online Art Galleries Are Changing the Way We See Art
By Veny Arsenov
Online art galleries have made it possible to find artists that may have never been seen if it were not for the internet. Art purchases were for the longest time only limited to local and national showings of an artist's work. Then there were catalogs which put together assorted works from various artists for sale to the general public. However, these older methods still limited artists in how they could show their work and eventually sell it. A lot of the control was put into the hands of the curators and gallery owners and the entire process was very subjective and elitist.
Online art galleries and the internet now give the control to the artist. Instead of being limited by the vision of a small group of people; curators, collectors and gallery owners, the power to show and sell work can now be entirely put into the hands of the artist. An artist no longer has to share the profits with anyone and can become famous by their own doing. This is a fantastic opportunity for artists to build a name for themselves by showing their work to the world instead of a very limited audience as they were only allowed to in the past.
Not every artist is a marketing genius though and some may still need the assistance of an art dealer to help in selling their works. This is still very different than it was in the past. Now the artist can control the percentage of their profit that they wish to share with the art dealer, where in the past it was quite the opposite. The internet has given the artist much more say in how their work is shown and less compromises have to be made to satisfy those other than the artist that have an interest in the proceeds of sales of the artist's works.
This has essentially improved the way that art is created. In the past, artists were encouraged to 'sell out', so to speak in order to make a profit. They were asked to tone down aspects of their works or messages that were being expressed in order to sell to a more general public. Online art galleries allow the artist to express themselves however they want and that is because the people that want the art can now find the artist much more readily through a simple search of the internet.
Online art galleries are a very important addition to the tools that an artist has. Online art galleries allow the artist to express themselves without reservation and makes it possible to find a way to generate revenue from selling their art. Many more artist's visions are making it into the world, unfiltered and pure because of these galleries and the art world is the better for it.
