Art auctions on Artelista

We've talked before about how to become an art collector and we pointed out that it isn't something reserved for great fortunes, but that any true art lover can have their own collection as long as they put some passion into it, enjoy themselves while learning and look for a rewarding experience.

Many collectors turn to art auctions to acquire new artworks. It's an exciting experience, and if you turn out to be the highest bidder and take home the artwork you want, it's a real triumph, one that plenty of people have enjoyed since the 15th century, when the practice began in the European art market. At an auction you can find artworks of all kinds, and the most important thing is that there has been a prior selection and these are artists with a career behind them, with awards and with the potential to increase in value. In Artelista's auctions section you can bid on artworks by contemporary artists at unbeatable prices, all of them with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist and with Artelista's guarantee: there are several auctions live on the site right now.

Clearly, every artwork we buy has to make us fall in love, and since we all like the classics, we can't leave out great masters of the stature of Picasso, Miró or Dalí, or even more contemporary artists like Tàpies. Who wouldn't want to add an artwork by any of them to their collection and admire it up close? We tend to associate those names with the huge sums paid at the most prestigious auction houses in the world, but there are chances to acquire artworks and lithographs by these artists, and this may well be an excellent one. To launch auctions on Artelista, we have several lithographs by Dalí, Picasso, Miró and Tàpies, all signed and most of them with a starting price of 350€. Auctions have arrived on Artelista with a luxury lot: http://subastas.artelista.com/

We encourage you to keep an eye on the auctions page, where every day you'll be able to discover new artworks by the best artists on the current art scene and by the great masters of art.

Whether you're an auction expert or it's your first time, we hope you'll join us in this new chapter.
