Artonique Launches Online Art Boutique for High-End Contemporary Art: New Transparency for a Multibillion-Dollar Art Market
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Artonique (https://www.artonique.com/) recently announced the debut of its curated, online art boutique intended for the serious investor. Featuring vetted artists and investment-grade pieces valued at $10,000 and up, Artonique is positioned to be the first serious digital contender in what has traditionally been a closed marketplace for new vendors. With a growing collection including some of the art industry's contemporary heavyweights, Artonique sheds light on the traditional market while paving the way for newer artists to receive the acclaim and exposure they deserve.
"The current high-end contemporary art market has historically been one of the most manipulated and outdated industries in the world," said Kunal Vatsya, CEO of Artonique. "Auctioned through prestigious art houses, or sold through close-knit art dealers, art pieces are so exclusive as to be nearly impossible to purchase by over 99 percent of the public. And in turn, contemporary artists who are doing absolutely stunning, museum-quality work are shut out of the industry simply because they are not friends with the right curators, or are slightly less known than those on rarely updated lists of canonized 'masters.' We've changed all that with Artonique. Now, high-end collectors and high-end artists can connect directly without having to negotiate with traditional gatekeepers."
Artonique: A Platform Dedicated to Artists
Artonique features a rapidly growing high-end artist base represented by a state-of-the-art digital platform and skilled crew of curators. New features are regularly added to enhance the online gallery experience, while also fostering strategic partnerships with artists, other galleries and private collectors to help enhance and maintain Artonique's overall value. There are no hidden fees, no buyer premiums and no inflated commissions.
Collectors can benefit from these low gallery commissions, which offers them greater buying power, while artists receive more acclaim and proceeds from their work. Artists benefit from a fully managed boutique experience, increased exposure, larger personal revenue and bonuses, as well as a pool of collectors they can trust. And all transactions are safe and secure.
