Negotiations

Not every work of art is negotiable. Some artist´s works are so heavily sought after that there is no need to negotiate. When demand is greater than supply, the seller has the upper hand. But remember, it always pays to ask. Prices at ARTinaClick.com are 30% to 50% less than traditional glleries. Buy Framed Art Now!

Certificates of Authenticity

Don't be fooled by ‘Certificates of Authenticity'. A reputable gallery will guarantee the authenticity of every work of art they sell on their invoice. The Certificate will usually come from the artist or publisher.

The Price

Many different criteria are taken into account when determining the price of a work of art. Condition, size, artist are just some of the criteria. Check out my ´PRICING´ category for many of them.

Gallery

Galleries are one place to purchase a work of art. A good dealer will see thousands of works each year and has acquired only those they feel are the ‘right ones'.
