The World’s Best Art Consultancy art-exchange.com unveils Release III of its art tool for designers.The Future Art Consultancy:Locating and placing artwork in a design project is arguably the most difficult part of the project.
Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt – $137.6 Million:The partner to the previously described piece of art. This is the first portrait of Adel Bloch-Bauer Klimt and was painted in 1907. According to reports, it was sold in June 2006 for $135 million to Ronald Lauder for his gallery in New York City. At that time it set a record as the most expensive painting ever sold.
Imagine an art consultancy able to directly access 10,000 artists, with technology capabilities aggregating art choices in a portfolio for emailing or high-resolution printing for presentations.
Thats the old way of finding art. Now designers can look in one place and view tens of thousands of originals alone. This is the new way of finding art. Art-Exchange lets designers search for all the art they need in one place.
That alone has the potential to save time, but the website has some other very powerful features that give designers even more flexibility and power.Powerful Features:One very important new feature is the Designer Portal. Art-Exchange has four different portals that members can use to enter the site.
Theres one for retail clients, one for community partners, and another for artists and other sellers. But the Designer Portal is available only to designers. Once you enter the portal, you can search for the art you want, view images of the art, and immediately see designers wholesale pricing.
Add the ability to correspond with clients via e-postcard including selected images. And finish with the ability to access framing options online thus enabling the designer to actually show the customer how the pieces will look framed.
The art world is often in uproar when a rare piece is placed on the market and eager collectors almost fall over themselves to obtain this rare art piece for their collections. Here are the top 10 most expensive art pieces recorded to date in descending order. Prepare to be surprised.
I spoke with Richard Gipe, President and CEO of Art-Exchange, to find out why he thinks his companys service is so special. I asked him, If you had to communicate Art-Exchanges value to designers in a single sentence, what would you say?
Heres another great new feature: Portfolios. How do you keep track of the works that fit your clients needs? You keep a portfolio. Designers can set up portfolios for individual clients, different locations, or just for future reference.
