We all love to buy on Internet. We have already broken the invisible barrier of fear and we have launched ourselves headfirst to buy online if not everything, almost everything. Before we wondered if it was safe, now it is automatic: we google the name of the product in which we are interested and in a matter of seconds the search engine finds thousands of suppliers of what we are looking for. We can scroll different pages, look at the pictures, read articles´ descriptions and spend as much time looking at them as we want. Without being worried that shop assist will insist on helping us to choose...
But how it looks like in the case of art? Many of us want to have artwork at home as a decoration or investment.
Supposing that you have already decided to invest in art or just decorate your house with original paintings, study the site well, think twice an¡bout the place you are going to exhibit them. To materialize the desire to buy an original work of art, you have to take into account more details and it can seem a bit more complicated. We hope that our advice will help you not to make mistakes.
1. When you find the gallery, try to gather as much information about it as possible. What can be useful to you and what can help you make the decision? Google has an option to collect customer reviews, ratings and comments. Above all, it has to convey confidence and security. Look for Gallery´s profile on social networks: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and o WEB.
2. Check carefully gallery´s offer, dive into its page. All online art galleries tend to bet on young talent and try to keep up with the latest news. You may find the future Picasso, Dalí, Rembrant or Gustav Klimt, who knows...
3. Ask for the CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY, in which the following information appears:
- Author
- Qualification
- Creation date
- Half
- Measures
- Signature of the author
Make sure before making the purchase.
4. If you want to see how the painting you like in your home would look, all you have to do is send a photo of the room to the gallery. If they are professionals, they will prepare a visualization (a render - virtual image) and you will not have to imagine it, because you will see it in situ.
5. A good gallery knows who is booming, who has a high chance of succeeding, and what work of art is worth investing in. An online art gallery can advise you when investing in works of art, be they paintings, sculptures or design objects. So ask for advice.
6. When you have everything clear, place the order, confirm it and be patient waiting for the package to arrive.
