Artists and Art in Palermo
The art of Palermo has names you can check in any history of art: Antonello da Messina, Giacomo Serpotta, Renato Guttuso. That is where to start, because their work sits in public collections and can be seen.

Mediterranean
The sea, framed
Palermo faces the sea. If that is the light you want at home, here is a selection from ArtMarket's “Mediterranean”, “Ocean & Sea”, “Cityscapes & Architecture” and “Black & White” collections.
Where that legacy is visible
In Palermo the reference points are Palazzo Riso, GAM Palermo, ZAC Zisa Arti Contemporanee. A public collection is also the cheapest way to train your eye: before buying, looking a lot is the investment that pays best.
How you actually find a contemporary artist
Broadly there are three routes: art academies and their graduation shows, art fairs, and platforms selling directly online. None of them needs a large budget, and all three let you see the work before committing.
Fine-art photography
Hand-signed photographic prints, ready to frame.
What to look for in an artist you do not know
Not the name — the consistency. A body of work that holds together tells you more than one good image. Then the stated technique, the format and the edition size. An author early in their career who works seriously always documents those three.
The artists we carry
Our catalogue holds art photography, painting and mixed media, priced 65–295 €. They are not artists from Palermo and we do not claim they are: they are authors whose technique, format, price and signature we can state.
