About Us

Artbank provides a platform where art can be displayed, promoted and sold and the sellers have the right to protect their anonymity until a buyer wishes to contact them. It is completely egalitarian in the respect that a well known artist’s work can feature alongside that of a more obscure or populist artist, breaking down the barriers that traditionally distinguish high art from low. While we understand no visitor will like everything on the site, we feel confident that the tremendous variety of work on display and range of prices available will suit most tastes and budgets.

Artbank is for anybody who wants to sell quality original art and does not ask that you go through mountains of paperwork or commit to a long term contracts to do so. Instead, it offers a service that can be used as and when you need it. This is because Artbank wants to empower both sellers and buyers, irrespective of their background or which part of the world they live in.

Essentially there are two types of art collector: those who buy art for investment purposes and those who buy art for pleasure because they fall in love with it. Occasionally the two coincide, but whenever such collectors wish to sell or rotate their art, they have to find a means to do it. There are two traditional methods of doing this. Highly collectable pieces invariably end up at auction, where they are guaranteed to sell only above a certain minimum price, whereas other pieces move quietly through the art establishment dealer/collector network. However, for the majority of people, the practice of selling or rotating contemporary art is not easy. It can take long periods of time to find a buyer at the right price and it goes without saying that the greater number of potential buyers are aware that the piece is up for sale the better the chances are of it going quickly.

At Artbank we believe there is a customer for every quality piece of art produced, so long as it is marketed sufficiently well and available to be viewed by the largest available audience. Much of the art exhibited in galleries can be difficult to sell simply because the right person doesn’t come in when it is on display. Galleries often rotate art by returning unsold work to the artist or putting it in storage. No sale results unless the right customer walks into the gallery during the time the piece is being exhibited. Artbank addresses this problem by utilising the latest technology to enable search engines to place the site high up in the list of results for art specific keywords.

In fact, as a result of these efforts, Artbank has quickly become the site of choice for people looking to buy and sell quality fine art on the internet. After all, where else would you go for such a service but an Art bank?

Whatever your reason for visiting Artbank, we look forward to your visit soon.
