The internet has created an ever-increasing means of buying and selling almost anything imaginable, and artwork is no exception. Just last year, Sotheby's and Christie's Sotheby’s and Christie’s doubled their internet sales. In this Wiki page, my intention is to initially analyze how the internet compares to more traditional methods for the sale of art, such as the gallery. I will then discuss some of the major and noted web sites engaged in the marketing of artwork, with reference to the successes and failures of a handful of examples over the last twenty years or so. The page will depict some of the most noteworthy internet sales of art. I then will turn the focus of the page to answering the question of what the affect of internet art sales has been on the art market, with specific regard to assessing aspects / questions such as reaching a larger audience and whether it an asset for new artists, etc. I will conclude by answering the question of what the future holds for buying and selling art on the internet.
