Art BrokerageReviews of artbrokerage.com

Don’t buy. As a former art student and now newbie to the art-buying world, I’m learning quickly where the real art people are. These are not them. They are not friendly, kind; their communication skills are limited to invoices and acceptances of offers. I don’t think they know better, though. I genuinely think they lack people-skills. For them, art is about nothing but money, leaving no room for passion and personality. Just stay away. Everything is grossly overpriced, anyway.

Horrible Horrible, horrible place to sell (legitimate) art. They pose as experts, and push you to list high, in case they get a “bite”. Though the latter rarely happens (due to their complete void of any online marketing expertise), a buyer does turn up invariably. At which time they negotiate without any transparency, expecting you to accept offers 1/5 of original ask—while they walk away with the (undisclosed) difference—all under the guise that you accepted a minimum offer amount upon originally listing. So not coincidentally, when an offer is presented, it’s the minimum. This way they can take (actually “steal” is more appropriate) a larger share without lifting a finger. They do not respnd to seller’s inquiries or requests once listed, except to respond to rare emails re: a potential sale thereafter, so they can fleece you. NO INTEGRITY.
