I purchased a drawing from a London gallery through Artsy's "Make Offer" e-commerce option. The work came framed, in perfect condition, and I got a very fair price. The buying process was seamless, from making an offer and selecting a shipping option to chatting with the gallery online. My work arrived in New York just over a week later! The gallery now stays in touch with me to let me know about their new shows they think I'll like. Super happy with my experience.
I've ordered artworks from Artsy several times, and each time the experience has been seamless and enjoyable. All the artists and dealers I've interacted with have been very nice.
Bought a print through Artsy from one of the gallery partners and love it! — easy communication with the art gallery and shipped quickly and seamlessly.
Great experience bidding and winning an artwork in a benefit auction! Couldn't believe I found the artwork and how easy the experience was, on top of helping a great cause.
Artsy makes me happy every single day 😁
Buying fine art at Artsy can be quite risky, especially since the CEO has zero art experience and allows obvious second rate dealers to market counterfeit art.
With a staff of over 300, unbelievably Artsy has zero protocols in place to stop counterfeits.
I don't know why anyone in this day and age would risk buying art in their so called online auctions which feature material that is not vetted, not seen, and if you do have a problem, lots of luck getting someone who is knowledgable to answer you. There is no one to call. No specialist in charge. Nothing. And worse, the Artsy buyer has no protection.
If you have a problem at amazon, you can get it solved.
If you have a problem at Artsy, like the art doesn't ever come, you have no ability to get it solved and dealt with.

Artsy is a disaster just waiting to happen and sadly the new CEO would not know good art from bad art if he saw it, and what's even worse, he has not had the foresight to employ anyone with a fine art background, NONE.
It is embarrassing and probably the reason why over 700 galleries have left Artsy under the CEO's tenure. In 2016 Artsy had over4000 galleries, and now less than 3300.

I've been waiting weeks for my artwork and can't get a refund. Be aware that if your artwork is lost you're on your own. There's better places to buy artwork online than these guys.
