When did you begin as an art dealer in Australia<br />
Nicky Ginsberg: I have been an art dealer for some 6 years. Over these years the number of artists that I<br />
represent has grown as have the number of exhibitions held for them.<br />
What purpose does your web site serve<br />
My web site was initially set up as a means of further promoting these exhibitions but its role has evolved<br />
over time. In fact, the relationship between the exhibitions and the web site has reversed where the<br />
exhibitions generate sales in their own right, and also drive people to the web site. Therefore, sales are<br />
spread throughout the year and my artists receive on-going publicity through the site.<br />
Have you had success marketing artwork through the Internet<br />
Yes, it is possible to sell art over the net and it’s <strong>no</strong>t just to people who already k<strong>no</strong>w or have bought work<br />
from a particular artist. The site has grown into a virtual gallery in which the most recent work of artists<br />
is shown as well as past work so that an artist’s development can be viewed as an ongoing process and<br />
evolution. Publicity activities drive much of this traffic to both the web site and to exhibitions. The web site<br />
also encourages pre-exhibition sales, and we send electronic invitations to our e-mail database.<br />
What styles do the artists’ work in that you represent<br />
Emerging contemporary Australian artists best describes the style of the artwork. There is <strong>no</strong> single style<br />
that binds them together so much as their common interest in the Australian landscape (both country and<br />
city), and in the beauty and intrigue of fruit, flowers, and abstract forms. These artists also have a<strong>no</strong>ther<br />
thing in common. As emerging artists they aren’t looking for the environment of many traditional Sydney<br />
galleries. They regard themselves as artists first and artists who ‘sell’ second. It takes time for an artist to<br />
develop, and our approach is to allow and encourage this development to take place. Also, bringing their<br />
work to a wider public over a period of time. In this sense, the exhibitions (whether solo or group shows)<br />
are ‘showcases’ for their work, and the web site is a record of what they do and where they are going with<br />
their work. Many of them have been awarded or hung in prestigious competitions and exhibitions, and<br />
these achievements are also chronicled on the web site.<br />
