SCAM PLATFORM
I was registered for an auction on Artsy with a client auction house. Next time I will deal with an auction house directly rather than use Artsy as a platform. This is because Artsy does not verify that an auction will actually take place on their platform. I was using their live auction feature and I thought it was very intuitive, however 7 lots from the time I was interested in, the auction mysteriously ended and I was sent an email from Artsy saying I missed out on the item I was attempting to bid on. The problem is, the item never went live on the app! and also the supposed “sale” price was 100 dollars above my highest bid. Very suspicious if you ask me.
I emailed support and they would just lie to me and refuse to take any sort of action towards this situation. They continuously told me that the sale did go live, and I simply was “outbid at the last second.” This is ridiculous because that auction didn’t have a timer that was a set countdown, the time would fluxate on bid interest.
I think this platform is very shady, and I think they had a technical issue which didn’t sync up to their client site, and they refuse to acknowledge and take accountability for their mistake. It’s crazy I missed out on an item over 100 Euros. Absolutely insane. Don’t use this service if you want to be treated like an adult.Show lessMynameisbob2u
Where to submit feature requests?
Great app… is there a uservoice page for us to submit and upvote feature requests? For ex. I’d like to be able to filter my saved paintings by size or color or price. I have hundreds saved, this will make it easier to narrow down purchases based on available wall space. Thanks!yerbabuenaboi
Best art buying app!
I’ve been using Artsy for sometime now. I can say that when I first made a purchase the delivery was well coordinated with the auction house. Payment method was quickly accepted and I received my art piece in a well insulated and protected shipment.
I’m definitely going to be using Arty to considerably grow my collection.Show lessDat_guy_b
Issues with search
Overall, I love the app, but lately, I get stuck after searching for an artist just once. It gets stuck and I have to swipe out of it.
It appeared to have been fixed in the last update and I was excited, but just tried attempted a new search and can’t even scroll through the list of artists once I have put anything on the search bar. Help!Show lessJakospence

I love the personalized recommendations. Every time I open the app I discover new artists I want to learn more about. I have a modest collecting budget and like to buy unique art by up and coming artists, and I’m constantly finding things I want to buy.CuratingNY
Great app for collecting, connecting with galleries, tracking artists
Whenever I learn about a new artist, I go to Artsy to look them up, and I follow them. The list of the artists I follow has essentially become a list of all the artists I’m interested in, saved in one place. Then, the app tells me whenever those artists have new works available on Artsy.
I’ve purchased a couple of works through Artsy and it makes connecting with a gallery seamless and simple—it really takes the intimidation factor of collecting out of the equation.Show lessAspiring art collector

Deep library of art and current artwork
Of all the art apps out there I think Artsy UI & Content is the best rn. Really enjoy the whole experience.anthonyjessup
The only app I’m HAPPY to be addicted to
Art brings me so much joy, and I love how this app makes that joy more frequent in my life. I particularly appreciate how Artsy surfaces amazing artists I never otherwise would have discovered from all over the world. And I look forward to collecting more of these artists. Speaking of which, Artsy is the first app to make buying and selling art as easy as using Airbnb. I can’t imagine going back to doing it any other way.Show lesscarterac\
