A virtual art gallery is more than just a website featuring images of artists’ work. It’s a fully interactive experience which, as you’d expect, can take many different forms. … It aims to challenge the notion of the ‘authorized image’ and where the boundaries of an art collection end. It allows viewers and artists to compare works that would be impossible to gather together in the physical world.
Art galleries exhibit works by artists known by the general public, drive the career of young contemporary artists or recover the name of those artist whom, despite the quality of their work, for historical reasons have been relegated to the background.
