Fine Art Purchase Thru E-Commerce

By Emily Sigidson


The other day, I found an article from the NY Times. The piece had a really cool topic that discussed the market of luxury goods and the presumed reasons for their delay in taking off in online purchases. It introduced some of the hesitations for the acquisition of fine art via the Internet. After outlining these ideas, it even predicts a shift in this mentality. The reasons presented make perfect sense and really pave the way for what could be a whole new direction for the art world and other fine purchases.

It is not a great surprise that fine art has not dominated sales via the Internet like music and books. The business of fine art investments asks much more of a consumer than a few dollars from their pocketbook. The financial aspect is quite possibly the leading reason behind art's delayed reaction to the business of e-commerce.

However, there is a presumed change in direction that is forecasted for the way consumers purchase their art!

A new generation is now presenting new opportunities by way of purchasing art online. It is no longer a necessity to witness the artwork in person before the decision can be made! This upcoming wave of wealth is sure to change the game in which luxury goods are acquired. There is a comfort that is felt among them that allows for more flexibility and less hesitation related to the business of online purchasing. They are faithful and trustworthy of the online purchase business and appear to appreciate the simplicity that comes along with just a few clicks of a mouse.

This appears to be a trend that is right around the corner, as young investors being to invest their wealth. So, get ready art world! It looks like there will be some major changes in the way we view and purchase art.
