In the last decade, the rise of new digital channels has shifted consumer behaviours towards online purchasing platforms. This new media channel has inevitably affected the art world, as well as many art collectors and world fairs, applying changes also within market demand and offer. New potential buyers, particularly millennials, have dived into the market, looking at buying art online as investors or a new generation of collectors. 

Therefore, the transition toward online ecosystems has reshaped the sector completely. Many art businesses across the globe report investing more resources into building their online presence and digital strategy to align with their clients’ new needs. Furthermore, the growth of established and emerging e-commerce platforms has allowed new customers to browse and buy certified quality artworks from worldwide to local sellers, straight from the comfort of their own homes. 

According to a valuable case study that emerged within the last ten years, among the noteworthy e-commerce marketplaces is the Kooness platform. This Italian-based firm has been revolutionising how galleries and collectors gain access to the digital sphere, helping businesses to grow. The Kooness platform (click here for more https://www.kooness.com/) cares about creating opportunities for those interested in buying art online. In addition to always guaranteeing updated solutions and technologies – in line with new developments and opportunities of art market – this Italian brand has implemented a worldwide network and a complete range of services that support customers on their buying journey among the art world. 

Stepping into the digital space and buying art online can be as simple as it is rewarding. It is crucial to know the different variables entering in the game that one should consider ensuring a positive experience. Where does anybody start? What should be mandatory to pay attention before buying?

When browsing art online, the offer is incredible: a good way to start is by scrolling through dedicated online marketplaces offering art buying guides. Usually, to navigate the enormous amount of art pieces one can apply filters according to preferences. If a browse doesn’t give a clear idea, it can be useful to discover more by checking out the different proposed selections, for example for Pop Art or the latest contemporary artists.

Once prospective buyers know where to navigate, they can follow the checklist below to make sure their experience is safe and secure. Before finalising a purchase, it’s imperative not to forget to check the following:

  1. Certificate of authenticity:

  2. Payment method

  3. Return policies

  4. Shipping costs and process
