“The 19-year online retail juggernaut, which began as a bookseller but now does everything from groceries to patio furniture, launched ‘Amazon Art’ to market works from galleries in Miami, San Francisco, New York and other US cities. The site showcases more than 40,000 works from over 150 galleries and dealers that run the gamut as far as subject, genre and period are concerned. Works range from modest canvasses like a $44 cat portrait to Norman Rockwell’s ‘Willie Gillis: Package from Home,’ which retails for $4.85 million. ‘From gallery walls to your walls,’ boasts the site, which enables users to quickly click through works by period and genre.”
