Net-A-Porter has expanded its expertly curated Home category with fine art e-commerce platform ap8.art – bridging the gap between physical and digital art worlds through a line-up of collections by contemporary artists.
Made exclusive to Net-A-Porter, shoppers and aficionados can now access top-grade, museum-quality, artworks with the ease and convenience of a click. For the first time ever, exceptional artwork is made accessible to a new global audience by equipping them with the tools and knowledge to shop for art confidently and with unmatched ease.
All pieces within each collection work seamlessly together and are framed exactly to the artist’s standards. Each artwork is digitally verified by ap8.art’s innovative technique of stenographic cryptography, imperceivable to the human eye and only detectable by digital scanning. On top of that, a certification code registered to the purchaser is linked to each artwork, providing a record of provenance and value.
