Some Fine Art sites
I truly recommend |
Carol Gerten's Fine
Art
She started 1996 and is still scanning, c. 6,000 scans to date. She got 12+
mirrors all over the world, and some had to shut down due to 50,000+ hits
per day! This is proof that there is a huge demand for Fine Art on the net.
Thank you, Carol!
If you are looking for ancient art, you can't go wrong with her. She has got biographical notes for most painters and provides an index and thumbnails for ease of research. Carol loves Italian Renaissance painters. You'll find some you never heard of. She is not particularly fond of Modern Art. You will find Picasso, but only some blue and pink stuff. You won't find Beckmann at all.
Mark Harden's
Artchive
Another features the black paintings of Goya and simulates a real building. You wander from room to room, see the paintings hanging on the wall. A third the triptych "Departure" of Max Beckmann, Museum of Modern Art, NY, using frames for the analysis of a complex painting. Then there is the sculpture garden, reviews of Fine Art CD-ROMs, interesting links (look for Eyes on Art!) and other articles. And finally there is the artchive proper. You can order all images on CD-ROM, becoming a patron of the site. Mark does this for some time, too, and has got some 2 or 3 thousand scans. He even lectures on scanning. Mark is interested in Modern Art. He is particularly fond of Beckmann, has a long list of Picassos, and you find even very new art there, Polke, Luepertz, Baselitz, Beuys, to name some (all German!). He features a framed list with artist's names at left, a list of text links to works at right. It is often tedious to look for a specific work. Take Picasso or Cezanne with lots of works listed, you won't find easily what you look for. When I complained to him, he told me another address without the other features. Instead you get a simple table with names, listed alphabetically, by date and scan date. If you click a name, you get thumbs to choose from. There is text sometimes, or a review, and as a rule the data is quite correct and complete. Thank you, Mark! I enjoyed your work very much, you helped me a lot!
The World-Wide Web
Virtual Library: Art History
Deutsches Historisches Museum
Art.net
Strictly non commercial, an artist's gallery, with poets, musicians and so on, from the old days of the internet. Interesting for artists, no ads, hence not free.

Jim's Fine Art
Collection Welcome to Jim's Fine Art Collection. It is my hope to provide quality scans of works from a wide array of painters and sculptors, from Europe to the Americas, and from Africa to Australia and Asia. Included are works from pre-historic cave paintings to contemporary artists. A little something for everyone, you might say. At last count, 4,539 works from 351 artists are in the collection. More than 3,500 remain to be added, as Ol' Jim finds available free time between working and sleeping.
Orazio Centaro's Art Collection
Art
Quest®
They offer 4000 works from $20 to 20 million after 18 months, and featured
one artist per month since a year. November 1998 artist: Joe.
ArtNet® It was here that I realized: an auction catalogue does not give more information as can be given here. So why not try selling art via internet? Last time I visited the fee was $ 2.000 per annum for galleries. I found this site via a gallery in my neighbourhood (Teutloff, Bielefeld), showing US-media artist Lynn Hershman with homepage.
