I'm excited to see how the VIP Art Fair turns out, but are even more excited about new opportunities for new collectors to find affordable original work online. I recently launched a new site,, designed to do just that - featuring emerging NYC artists. I truly believe anyone can be a collector of original art and support the living artists in their communities.

A unique piece of art would seem to be one of the hardest things to buy online. If you are buying a watch that you have seen before in person or an old baseball card, that is one thing, but it would seem rather difficult to understand the size and texture of a piece without seeing it in person. Maybe more art gets sold, but I can't imagine that the people would feel comfortable paying the same price after having only seen it online. - Adrian Meli
