As an Artsy client As an Artsy client, I think it is a very practical platform to be able to show clients the exhibitions and works available. I find it convenient for when I go to international fairs. As a way of selling, I think it is difficult, generally I have very few inquiries and I was only able to make two sales in a year that do not cover the cost of the platform. This year one of the sales occurred through a virtual fair that Artsy held. I think the virtual fairs within artsy are very good.

Inés in the Artsy Protection… Inés in the Artsy Protection department. I am floored by her level of service, professionalism, and follow-up. She kept at it until she achieved a good solution. Never tried to make me wrong. I always felt believed. Very efficient, no drama. Lovely. Her handling of the issue made a huge difference to me.

My overall experience was great My experience of making an offer to accepting it was transparent and smooth. The gallery was great to work with, the exact item was just as described and arrived undamaged. Two things to keep in mind - one is that if there isn't a frame mentioned, it will likely only be the art without a frame. I didn't mind this as I can choose my frame. But the biggest deal is that the description of the sales item vanishes upon purchase. Be sure to print out or screen capture the sales item details for your own records! This was surprising and I wish I could get the exact details advertised to print off and keep with my purchase. Overall, no issues, I'd order from Artsy again.

Waste of time and money Reviewing as a gallery owner. First off... it's way too expensive. Other inventory management services cost much less and are far more intuitive and efficient. Second, they implement new terms in your contract like exclusivity (forcing transactions to stay on the platform) but don't let you out of your contract. Third, I followed all of their guidelines (uploading many works, showing prices, and setting buy-now options) yet barely managed to get any really inquiries. Let's hope I can actually get them to export all my data/inventory. I have a hunch they have bots on their platform sending fake inquiries to keep galleries hooked. Also, pretty sure the bigger galleries have free accounts while the small/medium galleries pay a premium. WACK WACK WACK AVOID

Excellent Buying Experience on Artsy I enjoyed making my most recent purchase on Artsy. The website search function and variety of ways to sort is very good. Pricing and terms were very straightforward. The packaging was carefully done and the artwork arrived in a very timely manner
