Best online art gallery store/shop?, by Deleted on Jun 2, 2008 23:41:42 GMT 1, Random question: I was wondering which gallery/broker/artist had the best online store and shopping experience? I personally like the simplicity of POW (especially as their servers don't crash anymore.) Thoughts?

Best online art gallery store/shop?, by Heavyconsumer on Jun 3, 2008 1:47:15 GMT 1, I've mostly had very enjoyable experiences buying art. The second you start chasing the most popular artists things are bound to become complicated for most trying to buy, when there simply isn't enough supply to quench collective thirst. Personally I would happily recommend, POW, Copro Nason, Stella Dore, Jonathan Levine, Gallery1988, Upper Playground (Fifty24), SPQR (direct) and our Frankie at Campbarbossa. I've had hassle-free buying processed by these, as well as attentive and friendly customer service on the ocassions I've required it.
For "online shop", I think POW deserve some respect. After all they are the ones who deal with the most difficult to manage releases by far and they have got it right, because they cared enough to do so. I've done my fair share of moaning about their mailing list not working for me, but in this area they have excelled since I started collecting.
However the worst outlet is most definitly www.streetartprint.com

I've run into a few complications with UpperPlayground (Fifty24SF) - caused by me, not them - and they could not be happier to find solutions on my behalf, I'm very impressed. Brilliant places to buy art on both counts!

Thought Signal Gallery were great too when I purchased a Dale Grimshaw. As far as actually buying online, you know, with a shoping basket and all that, I reckon Blk/Mrkt has created a great online store. Very crisp and clean and really large thumbnails. In the basket, send it off, receipt through straight away. Perfect!

Best online art gallery store/shop?, by jon11 on Jun 3, 2008 8:35:16 GMT 1, I've had my first few dealings with Edgeart - top bloke, very helpful, great service, small company doing something a bit different
all the others are much of a muchness i think - all pretty good in terms of service - buy what you like if you get the chance.
souled out studios had been a real star for me, always very friendly and accommodating where possible
in the states copronason rock
best packaging other criteria

Best online art gallery store/shop?, by seidbereit on Jun 4, 2008 8:57:22 GMT 1, Best service I've had so far has definitely been from Urban Angel, both from a sales side and after-sales viewpoint. I don't know what Andrew's normal working hours are but I've been able to speak to him at all times of day and night in the last few months and he left no stone unturned to get me some particular pieces I wanted, by travelling around to pick them up when he'd sourced them, organising framing and getting them safely to me. I've had plenty of good experiences with other galleries but nothing to compare with UA so far. Definitely the stand-out gallery for me in terms of service.
