20x200booooooomNot everyone has the ability to walk into a gallery and buy the work they love right off the walls. But thanks to the internet, you can now find quality pieces from great unknown talents, as well as prints by well-known, established artists. Check out our favorite sites for buying art online. Bare walls, be gone!

20×200. The site to buy affordable art online sells limited edition prints of varying sizes, with inspiring stories behind each one.

Auctionata. This European auction house sells undervalued works, like a 1797 William Hogarth engraving, or a 1960 Jacques Hartz photograph of Duke Ellington.

Photographers Gallery. This site for prints is pretty extensive: portraits of Saint Tropez beach goers are mixed in with abstract landscapes and city scenes.

The Tappan Collective. Founded by two L.A.-based art enthusiasts, The Tappan Collective sells limited-edition prints and original work from young, emerging artists. A lot of the art (which starts at $20) has a cool, Los Angeles vibe—muted pastels, retro-looking beachscapes—perfect for making your walls Instagram/Pinterest-friendly.

Canvassed. A marketplace that houses emerging and established talents. Choose from a Mick Rock portrait of Andy Warhol or a Skip Arnold long exposure. There’s even on-demand support.

Saatchi Online. Saatchi Online, an outshoot of London’s famous Saatchi Gallery (which its founder donated to the public in 2010!), sells work directly from artists, many of whom aren’t represented by galleries, and lets them keep 70 percent of sale. For most of the pieces, both the original work and prints are available.

Photos.com by Getty Images. This stock photo giant offers custom prints (on canvas, birch wood) from artists like Slim Aarons or from Life magazine’s archives.
