Dranoff Fine Art
There’s absolutely nothing better than starting your Wednesday morning with this in your mailbox!
“I wanted to tell you how happy I have been with my Artnet website. I’ve been a member for 12 years, and over that time I’ve met great collectors from all over the world. I’ve developed ongoing relationships with people from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and of course the US. Some of these clients I’ve never met, yet they have acquired substantial works without having seen the works in person, which always amazes me. A lot of it I attribute to the credibility of Artnet. I am still getting new collectors regularly from the site. The other day I put up 7 new works online, including a Keith Haring painting, Alex Katz painting, Sol Lewitt gouaches, Louise Bourgeois works on paper, and more. Within the next 24 hours I received more than 15 inquiries about all of these works, and sold the two Lewitts and the Haring that day. It was really quite amazing! I would heartily recommend Artnet to any art dealers with blue-chip works for sale, as a means to quickly sell works, and over the long term build up a high quality client base.”
