Find the best galleries and art dealers in your area!
If you're looking for art, you probably will be overwhelmed these days. Nowadays, works of art are offered through all possible channels, there are countless art and online auction websites and a lot of art is also offered through social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. The danger of this wide range of offering is that there is also a lot of art that may not be original and is not what it pretends to be. We recommend that you always view the work of art in real life at one of the renowned galleries or art dealers before purchasing. In this article we indicate how you can find these art dealers and galleries in your area.
Why buy art through renowned art dealers or galleries?
If you are looking for a truly original and high-quality art, our tip is to always look and always buy from or through a reputable art dealer or gallery, who sell curated art. These art dealers and galleries are usually led by experienced art connoisseurs and almost always guarantee the 'authenticity' of the work. These gallery owners and art dealers usually have a lot of experience and direct contact with the artists and often have a good eye for timeless, authentic and original art.
When do you know whether an art dealer or gallery is reputable?
Renowned galleries and art dealers are often affiliated with trade organizations and associations. The members of these organizations have certain codes of ethics and quality standards. In most cases, these art dealers and galleries also issue a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) when purchasing the work of art. If there is something wrong with the artwork afterwards, you can always return it to the seller.

View and buy art through renowned art fairs
Numerous national and international art fairs are organized throughout the year, see also the overview. To participate in such an art fair, the participating galleries and art dealers are selected by a specially composed committee of art connoisseurs and experts from the art world to assess whether the participant fits within the quality image of the art fair. Although there are differences in the quality level between the various art fairs (often expressed in the selling prices of the art), you can assume that the offering of art at the fair most of the times concerns 'curated art'.
