ARTcnet.com Opens a
Virtual Gallery
An Array of International Artists Included
New York, NY 15 April
1999 ARTcnet.com, an innovative virtual gallery, is a leading force in
the sale of original works of art on the Internet. Drawing from an international field of
artists working in a wide variety of media, President Phyllis Zemble has formed a
consortium of award-winning painters, sculptors, and artisans who exhibit a body of their
artworks in the virtual gallery.
Since its inception in November 1998,
ARTcnet.com has been visited over 45,000 times by art lovers from 40 different countries.
With sales growing, ARTcnet.com is positioning itself to be a pioneer in the sale of
original artwork over the Internet. "With Internet commerce escalating at a dramatic
rate, and with art museums recognizing the importance of displaying the highest quality
artwork online, the art collector now can feel comfortable purchasing art online,"
remarks Zemble.
ARTcnet.com is introducing an auction, a tour
division, and technological advances including an internal search engine, language
translation, and video capabilities allowing users to view sculpture "in the
round."
"When visiting ARTcnet.com, the art
collector can appreciate the subtle differences that can only be found in a substantive
collection. This collection can be visited and revisited from any location 24 hours a day,
seven days a week," says Zemble. The collection continues to grow with new artists
featured weekly. Current artists represented include abstract-expressionist Aviva Green,
metaphysical painter Yoram Ra'anan, Vietnamese oil painter Nhan Phung, and husband-wife
team of Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Robert Roesch, whose Industrial Baroque furniture has
received critical acclaim.
