Artshare.com is Acquired by The Artling

Dear friends,

Today is a big day. I am excited to announce that Artshare.com has been acquired by The Artling -the global art and luxury marketplace- following with their US$1.75m new investment from Edipresse Media, a leading luxury lifestyle media company in Europe and Asia.

Thanks to your trust and following, and the support of galleries, collectors, curators and artists, Artshare became a reference platform for Chinese contemporary art since our launch in April 2013. We exhibited hundreds of artworks, over a hundred artists, placed works in important private and public collections, and partnered with leading institutions worldwide.

I feel lucky and honoured that Artshare has contributed to promoting Chinese contemporary art globally.

With this acquisition, The Artling, launched in 2013 by Talenia Phua Gajardo, and already boasting almost 1000 signed artists and 150 galleries, will expand its reach to Greater China, on path to become one of the most dynamic online art platform in Asia. I will remain an advisor to Artshare.com after the acquisition.

The story is starting to hit the press - click here for a recent feature by Artinfo.com. 

Moving forward, I will continue as an independent art advisor, focusing on Chinese contemporary art, as well as modern and contemporary Western art. 

Thank you very much again for being part of the Artshare community, and I look forward to staying connected!

Alex
