Art for sale: types and styles.

Generally, the sale of original artist work can be done in several waysSale of artwork of artists at auction, selling online,  sale  on exhibitions, sales in the galleries.

The classic option is to sell the artwork in galleries but this selling style has lost its popularity due to the advancement of the Internet. The gallery exhibitions are good that the buyer personally to see the picture and verify the quality. Another advantage is that one can see more works and get acquainted with the artist himself.

On the other hand, due to economy of scale, collective exhibitions have become very popular. They last for a week or more. The exhibition represents artists from one to many and presents a variety of styles and trendsIt is profitable for artists and buyers .
