Some words of encouragement:
001_ Independent Collectors is for collectors of contemporary art.
002_ It is for art collectors who want to connect to other, likeminded collectors from around the world and to build a collectors network with the intention of sharing experiences, knowledge and insights.
003_ At Independent Collectors you can conduct searches by artists’ names, artworks, location or collectors names. You can find out who will attend which art fair.
004_ Independent Collectors is a collectors community with networking functions like personal contact features and messaging system.
005_ It is also source for collectors news, with a well moderated discussion forum and the Upcoming Collector’s Blog.
006_ Our members may upload images of artworks they own in order to share their private collections with other collectors. In case you worry, Independent Collectors is covered by a contract with VG Bild Kunst.
007_ A well-formed network with other “contemporary collectors” makes collecting contemporary art easier, more transparent and even more exciting.
008_ Every successful network is based on openness and respect. The bigger these two elements are, the more successful your network gets.
009_ Privacy is a core element at Independent Collectors. Our members can individually adjust the anonymity-level of their profile and the access specifications for their exhibitions.
Please take note:
Artists_
Independent Collectors is not the place to promote your art. There are other communities designed for that purpose and we encourage you to use them. Your collector’s personality is welcome here, of course and we trust you to know where to draw the line between your collection and promotion.
Gallery owners_
Independent Collectors is not the place to promote your gallery, exhibitions in your gallery or artists represented by your gallery. There are other mechanisms designed for that purpose and we encourage you to use them. Your collector’s personality is very welcome here, of course and we trust you to know where to draw the line between your collection and promotion.
Collectors_
Independent Collectors is a place to promote artists you like only if you own their work. Please do not upload things you don’t own.
