Today in The Independent newspaper Annie Deacon, acting editor of mydeco, asks if we still need art galleries or whether the conditions and technology in the world mean that art buying has shifted online? She quotes The Real Art Company as an example of the type of site that is luring art buyers online. Which is great.  

As far we're concerned, we believe that the huge choice offered online and the ease of purchase means that many people will choose to buy art online. However we also believe there is a very important role for galleries as it is where people can continue to experience art in person. A touchy feely experience. Finally, we believe that there are enough art lovers out there like us to keep the art galleries on the high street and the art galleries online busy. The more of us the better!
