Advertising budget website www.artmajeur.com, French, is, according to their recognition - a hundred thousand dollars EACH MONTH. Is there off-line galleries with this budget?
T e of these galleries had limited success and have, in France. Maybe you just do not want to see something that does not want to live and memories, how nice it was to .....?

I have no idea site artmajeur.com and felt no desire to go to ventilate it. Referred to the budget you inspire ... Well, let's say, respect. But tell me, whether participation in the artists paid? This may be an explanation magnitude with which they advertise themselves, that is their target customers are not hypothetical, but very real artists who are ready to pay for the placement of their works?

Indeed, the classical galleries with this budget, direct advertising will not find. But do they need it? In contrast, online galleries, hung works by artists that are willing to pay, the normal picture of their artists are selected, they participate in art fairs, they have attracted criticism (it's hard to imagine an art critic, who climb on this virtual flea market in search of an artist, which write?), place of work in museums. Yes, Banksy uses an alias (do not forget about his reasons for doing so, on it?), But people who want to buy his work, go to the most that on a real galleries or auction houses - ->

One of the articles, which I translated for this site, it was written - quite rightly in my view - that the democratization of art, brought by the Internet, is deceptive.

Previously, art was elitist, now all of his demonstrations online formed a shapeless magma, which is difficult to discern even a real talent.
