When you hear about sales of art by the marquee names of the auction world it likely conjures up images of backroom deals, handshakes, and a ritzy world of smoke-and-mirrors. But it doesn’t need to be that way. The online platform ART PLEASE is forging a space for increased transparency with its collector-to-collector model for the buying and selling of blue-chip art.
The international experts at ART PLEASE help collectors value works and offer an avenue to buy and sell, complete with upfront prices. The platform even includes “wanted” listings for collectors seeking specific works. From the comfort of one’s one home, collectors both new and veteran can tap into a network of in-demand fine artworks, hidden gems, as well as works by emerging artists.Â
Below, the experts at ART PLEASE have handpicked seven vibrant (and available for purchase) artworks to brighten up any home this winter.
