The city of London has loads to offer art lovers and the best thing is that it is virtually all free to explore.The art industry is huge in Britain, with collections from artists all over the world available to view in London’s galleries and at exhibitions. The city is also home to a lot of British art, so when you are next in the capital why not check some of it out.There are a range of galleries to choose from. The Tate Modern, which is found on the South Bank of the Thames, has the world’s biggest collection of Modern Art. Its free to enter and has two huge floors which contain a range of art work including abstract pieces, such as piles of bricks and canvases with random splodges of paint.

There is the national gallery on the north side of Trafalgar Square. It has a wide collection of Western European art which dates back to from the middle ages, to the early 20th century. Again it is free to enter and with so much on offer it is worth splitting your visit into two trips.The Tate Britain is on the north side of the Thames not far from Victoria Bridge. If you fancy arriving in style you can get a river bus to the Tate Britain which also travels across the river to the Tate Modern. The gallery is the home of British art dating back from the 1500 to the present day. For those that are new to the arts scene you can get an art guide for a small fee.One other place worth visiting is the National Portrait Gallery. Home to a huge collection of portraits which include those of Kings, Queens and other influential historical figures, the gallery is unique it what it offers visitors. When it opened in 1856, it was the first portrait gallery in the world. Since then it has been expanded twice and one of the gallery’s most famous portraits is of William Shakespeare.

World’s Best Art Consultancy art-exchange. com reveals the Release III art tool for designers Future Art Consultancy Find a place for art and design project is undoubtedly the most difficult part of the project. Although some designers will take this task themselves, many seek assistance of art consultant. Limitation of this approach is the consultant’s limited universe of artists. Most of the consultants, finally, a few “go-to” favorites. Imagine art consultancy got direct access to 10 000 artists, who have the technical capacity of the combination of art portfolio choices by e-mail or print high-resolution presentations. Add the ability to respond to customer e-mail a postcard with the selected images. And, finally, the ability to use online development planner to really show the customer how the pieces seem frames.

Can the site help you find art? Art-Exchange (www art exchange. Com) is a new website, not a new service, not a new company. However, it has taken a new approach to offering art planners. And it is a new site design that Art-Exchange claims will make service more efficient and easier to use. I spoke with Richard Gipe Chairman and CEO Art Exchange, explains why he thinks his company is so special. I asked him, “If you had to communicate Art-Exchange value of designers in one sentence, what would you say?” Here is what he said: “If you want to use as much art as we have an Art-Exchange, you would have to go to 20 000 galleries, and you have to deal with so many different sellers that the logistics would be overwhelming.” Sounds good. But whether the site works?

Art-Exchange is a business solutions provider specializing in the design trade. They can offer solutions to designers of art consultancy, or they may provide solutions to art consultants to help them more effectively.

For the past five years Art-Exchange is actively in contact with works of artists from a list of the exchange. Today, about 100,000 different works of art created over 10 000 different artists. Imagine searching a record 100 000 to find the perfect art solution. Almost 60% of all the works are originals, and the remaining 40% is a number of different versions. All these works are arranged in the database and search engine to find a job in one of the following criteria:

• Artist name

• Title

• Subject

• Ask

• Medium

• Size

• Colors

• Price

• Direction

Suppose that the original is great and the price is a problem. Maybe you want to work only the lighthouses. Or maybe a large public works. How specific the search engine can be. And a new design, if you enter certain criteria and the search engine can not find work, answer all of your search terms carefully, it directs you to fit the criteria works best, so you need not start from scratch. One of the designers of the new site, said: “We never want to show someone something.”
