What is a collection on ArtMarket?+
A collection is a curated view of the same catalogue, cut by subject, by style or by budget rather than by medium. There are 17 of them. A work can appear in more than one, and everything inside every collection is hand-signed and ships unframed.
What is the difference between a category and a collection?+
A category is what a work is — photography, mixed media, contemporary. A collection is what a work does on a wall. The same print sits in exactly one category and often in three or four collections, because medium is a fact about the piece and mood is a judgement about the room.
Where do I look if I am shopping for a particular room?+
The room edits are gathered separately, under wall art by room, because room is a question about scale and light rather than taste. Living room, bedroom and home office each have their own page there.
Which collection suits a first purchase?+
The under-€100 edit is the usual starting point. It is the same paper, the same hand signature and the same artists as the rest of the gallery; the difference is format, not quality. It also lets you build a gallery wall in stages rather than committing to the whole arrangement at once.
What works on a busy or heavily patterned wall?+
Monochrome and minimalist work. Both hold a wall without competing with the colours already in the room, which is why they settle a visually busy space where a high-contrast colour piece would fight it. Statement pieces do the opposite and want clear space on either side.
