Review

Art lovers will be truly thrilled to know an app like this exists, The free Artsy App, designed for iOS 7, has pooled 50,000 hi-res images of artworks, including some by Monet and Jeff Koons, from roughly 600 foundations, galleries, artists’ estates and museums — including the Guggenheim in New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the British Museum.

Artsy, which launched to the public last year, is like a Spotify for the art world. The online encyclopedia of fine art allows its 150,000 registered users to page through thousands of artworks and funnels suggestions based on what users like and share.

The Artsy app adds another feature — the option to buy with the touch of a finger.

Users can virtually visit and purchase works, which range in price from hundreds to millions of dollars, from galleries and art fairs around the world.

Pieces priced less than $10,000 can be purchased directly through the app, with Artsy taking a 1% to 6% cut. If the price tag is higher, the app connects users with the gallery to complete the sale.
