I own an art gallery in CT and have met many local artists who use these sites. Some artists are reluctant to post because of the membership fees, monthly fees, listing fees, ambiguous commission scale, and the vast ocean of other non art related items on the same site.

I decided to create an auction site that is as artist friendly as my gallery. No membership or monthly fees. No listing fees. A clear cut commission on works sold, and friendly 24 hr. service. Users and clients can contact me directly, ask questions, leave comments and suggestions, and get a quick response. The site is very new. I want to offer this service to contemporary artists. Spread the word and keep those artists painting!
