Art Brokerage was designed to make buying and selling fine art safe and easy. We sell original paintings, limited edition prints, sculptures, and jewelry from more than 1000 artists including Andy Warhol, Leroy Neiman, Frederick Hart and Ed Ruscha and 1000 more artists. Buyers may register to receive real time market alerts of new classified listings for up to 20 artists of your choice at no charge. There is no buyers premium.
Art Brokerage protects both the seller and the buyer. Purchasing on the secondary market is safe and easy. If you are aprehensive about purchasing on the Internet, we will refer you to other satisfied clients and provide references when we are ready to formalize a sale. Art Brokerage would like you to work with us on a long term basis. Buyers reserve the right to inspect their purchase fully before Art Brokerage will release funds to the seller. Sellers are responsible for shipping fees when the buyer rejects the sale due to non-disclosed damage.

Art Brokerage will allow you to list your art for free but we ask that you be willing to sell your art at fair market value, and not at retail gallery prices. Realistic pricing is what makes our site the number one fine art classifieds site on the web. If you are trying to sell at retail prices...you should not list.
There is a 20% commission on all sales above our minimum of $5,000. Anything priced below $5,000 will be sold with a 25% commission. We do not accept listings with a fair market asking price below $3,000. You may see a few listings below this price...these are for clients who have a long term relationship with us, before we changed our policy. Art Brokerage has 50 years experience in the art business and 13 years with a web presence.
