1. Buy Artwork Online from Best Artwork
Galleries in Australia

2. Following a global trend in
consumer shopping habits, you
can now select and buy artwork
online Australia wide, rather
than from a shop front gallery or
an auction house. With overseas
shipping and handling costs
being expensive and the high
risk of damage, it is natural for
consumers to seek out original
artwork online Australia first
before looking overseas. The
plethora of Australian talent to
choose from ensures you will
find a home grown work you will
connect with and love.

3. For the art lover or collector, it is
getting harder to find works in
the traditional retail settings. In
May 2013 The Herald Sun
reported that up to 30% of art
galleries in Melbourne have
closed down during the past two
years with other capitals
including Sydney, Perth and
Adelaide also affected.

4. However in contrast online
spending continues to rise. The
NAB reported in the August 2013
monthly update that in the year to
August 2013, Australians spent
$14.2 billion on online retail. Roy
Morgan research published in
June 2013 points to a 12 per cent
growth in online retail in the past
year, with 50.3 per cent of
Australian’s now shopping online
in the three months before (March-
June 2013).

5. The Australian Communications
and Media Authority (ACMA) in
its research report: ‘E-commerce
marketplace in Australia: Online
Shopping’ revealed that the
majority of online shoppers
continue to buy from Australian
websites, citing support of local
industries as the leading reason.
Those with incomes of over
$150,000 were more likely to
shop online. Convenience and
price were identified as the main
reasons for online shopping.

6. In 2004 Trendwatching.com
conceived the phrase ‘Curated
Consumption’. In an online world
the amount of choice available,
while convenient can be
overwhelming. For this reason the
trend is for consumers to seek
experts to curate the world for
them; in effect to identify the very
best of what is available in a
segment and present a curated
range for to them to choose from in
an accessible online platform.

7. Online Art Galleries are a perfect
example of curated consumption.
New York based Manhattan gallery
owner Jen Bekman launched an
online site for limited-edition prints
in September 2007 which shipped
more than 40,000 prints in its first
year. Website Art.sy.com filters
over 500 characteristics to create a
powerful search experience for
uses to select works from leading
galleries, museums and private
collections around the world.

8. In Australia, online art gallery Art
