Artsper gives you access to the largest catalogue of contemporary art from the best European galleries (200,000 works from 25,000 artists and 2,000 partner galleries).

What sets us apart from other platforms is the fact that we carefully select the galleries we work with, based on a range of criteria. This approach ensures that you benefit from:

- The double expertise of the galleries and Artsper, guaranteeing the quality of the artists and artworks available on our site

- Access to the entire catalogue of artworks from our partner galleries, sold at the same price as displayed in the gallery

We also make it easier for you to find works that reflect your preferences: you’ll receive personalized artwork suggestions, you can view curated artwork selections created by our in-house experts, browse premium content about your favorite artists, and take advantage of Artsper Art Advisory, which provides personalized advice throughout the buying process.

For some artworks, you can negotiate the price. If the price of the work is negotiable, you have a “Make an offer” button under the “Buy this work” one.

To submit your offer, you must make a payment of the desired amount. Your offer will then be forwarded to the gallery, which reserves the right to accept or reject it. If your offer is accepted, it means that your order is confirmed by the gallery and they will prepare the artwork for shipment. If your offer is rejected, you will be refunded the total amount paid automatically. The gallery can also propose a counter-offer for the acquisition of the artwork.
