An Excellent Site for Contemporary Art

Fellow appraiser Judith Vance, ASA sent me this link to One Art World, an Internet site devoted to contemporary art. If you sell or value contemporary art, the site will be useful as it contains strong informational components of contemporary art. It has information on artists, galleries, auctions and auction analysis. It is an outgrowth of chelseaartgalleris.com Internet site. It will now expand its coverage and focus on contemporary art from around the world.

The site navigation bar has tabs for shows, receptions, an art calendar, directories for art businesses, artists and art venues, auction analysis and sales results, as well as art for sale. Keep in mind this is all related to contemporary art. I would expect as the site grows and matures, the content level and data archives will grow as well. Although the focus is very narrow, many times as an appraiser, that is what you need.

The press release announcing One Art World states Chelseaartgalleries.com, one of the most popular art portals in the world, announced today that it is extending its reach globally. The new destination site, oneartworld.com, will subsume and extend all of chelseaartgalleries.com's functionality, while providing a location agnostic view of the art world.

"After fine tuning our site in New York for more than three years, we are now confident that our ideas can be successfully replicated worldwide", says Jonas Almgren, founder of chelseaartgalleries.com and oneartworld.com.

He continues "The art world is international, and much of what we do in terms of galleries, artists, auctions, art fairs, and biennials, already go beyond Chelsea and New York. It is a natural next step for us to expand globally."
