Bluethumb is an online marketplace that connects collectors directly with the original artist, allowing artworks to be sold straight from the artist’s studio to your wall. Bluethumb primarily focuses on contemporary artists, providing them with a platform to showcase their talent and connect directly with buyers.
Bluethumb is dedicated to connecting artists directly with buyers, ensuring that the artworks come straight from the creators themselves.
Because of this, only the original creator can list and sell artworks on Bluethumb. We don’t facilitate the resale of artwork or sales from third parties. This supports our commitment to empowering artists by ensuring that profits go directly to the original creators.
Reselling artwork involves complexities such as determining accurate valuations and managing royalties, which require specialized expertise and infrastructure that Bluethumb is not set up to handle.
If you’re looking to value or resell an artwork, here are some good alternatives:
