EditionedArt.com

The online space creates access to the art world in ways that have never previously existed. I want to share EditionedArt because I’m so excited about it. It is an online gallery where you can buy limited edition fine art prints with literally the click of a button. I was impressed by the range of artists they had on the website and the competitive pricing.

EditionedArt was founded by Heidi Lee, an Art Advisor and Curator who wanted to bring fine art prints by great artists to the online shopper. In the era of net-a-porter or giltgroupe I think EditionedArt falls in line with the transparency and ease of transaction that today’s consumer enjoys.

This is how it works:

All the artwork offered is screened to ensure authenticity and review the condition. You can easily browse the inventory, searching either by category or artist. There is a full description including cataloguing, images, a brief summary of the artist and the price. Once you have selected something that you would like, you simply add it to your cart and sign into the membership area where they accept all major credit cards. The transaction process is streamlined and efficient.

On the right side of the screen there is a ‘Curator’s Pick’ that changes frequently and also a newsletter that is free to subscribe to. For someone who is just entering the collecting realm and doesn’t want to leave their home or office this is an excellent alternative and a perfect venue. It is not only for the amateur collector or decorator, there are some seriously heavy hitters (at the time I’m writing this there is a Francis Bacon aquatint priced at $18,000.00).

I’m excited to see where this project will go and hopefully expose more people to the fine art print medium.
