What is a CURATOR'S REVIEW (Currently not offered - Contact info@abstractart.com for more information)
A curator's review is a professional’s opinion on your work. You will get more sales by adding a curator’s review next to your artwork.

Why?
More people tend to buy artwork with curator’s reviews. For collectors buying art online, it is often valuable to get a professional’s opinion.

Who?
The reviews are written by our leading curator, Louis Guillaume. He has been a Director of the Abstract Art Gallery for the past 2 years. He has over 7 years’ of experience working with emerging artists and curating exhibitions.

How?
The purpose of each review is to highlight the positive aspects of your work. The review will emphasize its originality, the mastering of a technique, the use of light, movement, and emotions; it will link your artwork to famous artists and will explain how it relates to the history of art.

Where?
Below is where the curator’s Review will be added next to your artwork.




Do I need to sign my artwork?
All art should be signed. It is important in identifying you as the creator. In addition, many collectors prefer to purchase signed artwork. Here is an an interesting opinion.

Does Abstract Art Gallery sell framed artwork?
We prefer to sell artwork unframed as our clients tend to like to frame their purchases themselves. That said, if you'd like to sell your art framed please let the visitors know by checking the “Framed” box when you upload the artwork.

May I place a link on my Abstract Art Gallery profile page to my personal website?
Yes.
