Learn about the artists and their work

How are the artworks on Select chosen?

Our artists are carefully chosen, and they decide which pieces to make available. We do review all content and may remove a work if its authenticity comes into question.

Who is eligible to sell on SELECT?

All of our artists have a strong track record in their home country. We seek out talent from around the world to bring you a diverse, premium-quality international selection. To learn more about how we choose our artists, click here!
Are you an artist? Feel free to submit your application here. We review every submission.

Are any of the artworks available as prints?

Every piece on SELECT is an original artwork — none are reproductions, and no further editions are issued by the artist (particularly for photography).

Do artworks come with a certificate of authenticity?

Every artwork sold on SELECT includes a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

The piece I wanted is no longer available — can I request a commission?

Several of our artists are open to commissions — feel free to reach out if the piece you had your eye on is no longer available!

Are all works on SELECT available for purchase?

Not necessarily — some works may already have found a buyer. If a piece has been sold, you'll see this noted on the artwork page. If you can't find something you love, don't hesitate to get in touch — we can suggest other works by our artists, including pieces not yet listed online. Some of our artists also take commissions!

Services provided by Select

Can all works be framed?

Of course. In some cases the artist has already selected a frame, and we can share a photo of it. If the piece is unframed, simply let us know at the time of purchase that you'd like it framed — we'll take care of finding the ideal frame for you.

Who covers the cost of framing?

When an artwork comes already framed, the frame is part of the piece and is included in the listed price.
If the work is unframed, Select provides framing at an additional cost, which will be added to the artwork price. We always ensure the framing cost stays within your budget.

Do you provide personalised recommendations?

Our mission is to connect collectors with the right artworks. But browsing through thousands of pieces takes time — and we can help you save it!
We can put together a personalised shortlist of around twenty works chosen specifically for you. To receive yours, get in touch at advisors@select-art.com and we'll respond within 48 hours.

Is there a fee for the Art Advisory service?

Not at all — connecting collectors with the right artworks is at the heart of what we do.

Buying art with Select

How can I check whether you carry work by a specific artist?

If you have a specific artist in mind, you can look them up on our artists page.
If nothing comes up, leave us your details. We track all searches on our site and actively reach out to artists our users are interested in. If the artist joins Select, we'll notify you right away.

What does the heart icon next to artworks do?

The heart icon lets you save artworks you love as you browse, so you can easily find them all in one place. To view your saved pieces, click the heart in the main menu. To keep your favourites across devices, we recommend creating an account.

How can I verify the dimensions of an artwork?

The exact dimensions of each piece are listed on the artwork page. Need more detail? Get in touch — we're happy to send additional images to help you visualise the size of the work.

Does the image on the site accurately represent the artwork?

The image shown is a faithful representation of the artwork, though it has no contractual value. We can provide additional photos on request.
If the piece you receive doesn't match your expectations, we sincerely apologise. You have 30 days from delivery to return it.
Feel free to read our client reviews — many collectors tell us the work looks even better in person!

How do I buy art on SELECT?

To buy a piece, click the "Acquire this artwork" button found on every artwork page. You'll be taken to your Cart. After clicking 'Proceed', we'll ask for your delivery details and preferred payment method (card, Paypal, or contact us for bank transfers). Once your payment is confirmed, you'll receive a notification from our payment processor, Stripe. We'll then reach out promptly to confirm receipt of your payment.

What happens after my payment is confirmed?

Once your payment goes through, the artwork is reserved for you! We'll contact you promptly to confirm availability and estimated delivery times (typically around 7 days). Together, we'll arrange the most convenient delivery date to your specified address.

When is my credit card charged?

Your card is charged at checkout when you confirm your order. This is when payment is authorised and processed through our payment gateway. If you're using a debit card, please note the amount may be deducted from your balance immediately.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes. Before the piece has shipped, you can cancel your order via email. After shipment, you have 30 days from delivery to request a cancellation. If the work has already been dispatched, your refund will be issued once the piece has been returned to the artist in its original condition.
