Artstor which is a new on-line gallery has been opened this summer. This new technique has had a great help on reducing the time for the instructors. This site has over 300000 on line and is going to add more in the future. However, some people doubt that will this new way of enjoying art replace the old methods we use. Also, copyright is an important issue for Artstor.
Amico is another on-line gallery similar to Artstor, but it is closing next year, and it is selling some of his stuff to Artstor.
Creating a gallery on line is not a really bad idea, but I also doubt that will it be able to replace the old methods we use to enjoy art. It is combining the high technique internet and old fashion art together. Will a person enjoy art when he sits in front of a computer and watch image files in the monitor? I really do not think people will enjoy this new technology of enjoying art. Seeing pictures through the monitor has a different feeling than seeing the real stuff. Although, both of the image in the monitor and the real stuff in not for touching. However, this new method is faster and cheaper. It is a nice and easy way for lazy people to find images of art.
