So what is an emerging artist? Well it's not necessarily what you think. Emerging artists are not new artists or amateur artists. Emerging artists are often established in their careers, but who are not necessarily being represented by elite galleries yet in the world's capital cities with large commissions and overheads and therefore expensive prices. These artists are perfect for art collectors, providing a solid chronology, exhibition record and provenance for their art with affordable prices for their original paintings and art.
