Online Auctions As Sales Venues For Artists:
The Internet has changed that way of
approaching galleries forever. In fact many
collectors prefer to deal directly with the artist
when buying art. They like to get to know the
artist from whom they are buying and like
having direct access to the artist.
Today one of the most successful ways for an
artist to make sales, advertise his or her
website, and meet new collectors is through
online auctions! These online auctions have
severely eroded the old gallery system, and
given artists control over the sale of their own
work.
Below I have listed some of the many online
fine art auction venues available through which
artists can sell their work. The listing of these
auctions does not in any way constitute an
endorsement of any or all of them. They are
listed solely as source of information. Before
listing on any online venue it is highly
recommended that you research it carefully.

Artists today have more opportunities to
sell their artwork than artists who were
working pre-Internet.
In the past we were all taught that we should
send a slide packet to galleries in which we
were interested in exhibiting our work. These
packets were to include slides, a resume, a
biography, and an artist's statement. Many
art schools still teach that archaic formula for
approaching galleries. Approaching galleries
in that manner is financial drain on the artists
already limited resources.
The Internet has changed that way of

collectors prefer to deal directly with the artist
when buying art. They like to get to know the
artist from whom they are buying and like
having direct access to the artist.
Today one of the most successful ways for
an artist to make sales, advertise his or her
website, and meet new collectors is through
online portfolio venues! The majority of these
venues are free while others charge artists
anywhere from small fees to huge fees to
maintain the artist's presence online.
My BEST advice is never pay more than a one
time fee to be listed on any website other
than your own, and that fee should be under
$10.00. Just because a site charges a huge
fee doesn't mean that it will generate many if
ANY sales at all for you.
