Avant Arte wants to make art radically more accessible for a new generation.
About us
We collaborate with iconic contemporary artists like Jenny Holzer, Cai Guo-Qiang and the Chapman brothers, making their work more accessible to younger collectors through sculpture editions, print editions and unique works on paper. As well as success in attracting some of the most important artists in the world to our platform, our product launches are heavily oversubscribed, with many behaving more like fashion drops than art sales, selling out in seconds. The company began as a cult Google Docs blog of contemporary artists, initially inspired through rap lyrics and hip-hop album covers. That blog grew organically into the world's biggest online art community, with over 2m followers under the age of 35. With digital engagement more than 4x the rest of the art world and in line with the biggest youth fashion brands of today, our vision is to inspire a generation of millions of young people who love art like they love music and who collect works like they build their wardrobe.

“I believe we have a transformative opportunity with the new generation of arts patrons, who might initially start supporting a museum in accessible ways—buying an artist’s edition or visiting an exhibition discovered through social media—and some of whom can be developed into members and the most impactful major donors over time.” In the new op-ed for artnet, our CEO Mazdak Sanii addressed the funding challenges museums and art institutions are facing in the US and Europe and how the new generation can play a vital role in supporting them.

George Condo’s Psychological Cubism presents myriad states a person can embody. For those wanting to experience his work in person, at Condo’s new exhibition The Mad and the Lonely at a former slaughterhouse on Hydra Island, a number of small-scale paintings and sculptures selected from the artist’s personal collection offers depictions of characters rejected by society, lingering between a state of madness and loneliness, captured in the abstract yet humanoid-like manner the artist is known for.
