At SMART gallery all our artwork is Limited Edition or Original and therefore extremely limited or exclusive in the numbers produced. We cannot guarantee that all artwork will increase in value but we are confident that all pieces are good investments whether it be on a monetary basis or quite simply because they are pieces that you fall in love with and can share with your friends and family for many years to come.
“According to the Art and Antiques index compiled by Hiscox, the insurer, and Art Market Research, a data company, prices have increased on contemporary art by 55%.” Quote taken from a Yahoo Finance Report article by Naomi Caine (2008)

Don’t be concerned! There couldn’t be anything simpler! All you need to do is search for artwork using specific keywords, browse the collections under specific artists or browse the website generally and view any specific offers. If you see something you like click onto it and you will see all the information about the piece and its price on the right hand side of your screen. Add the item to your shopping basket and then checkout. You will be asked for your personal and payment details (which rest assured are all kept secure) confirm your order and that’s it! You will receive an email to confirm your purchase details and then we will be in touch as soon as your order is ready to let you know when to expect your delivery. Unless otherwise stated, online artwork is usually mounted only and the price will reflect this. It is possible for us to frame it for you but the price would increase to a framed price. If you would prefer the artwork to be framed you will need to fill out a contact form and we will get in touch with you to discuss your additional requirements.
