Congratulations to all the artists who exhibited their work on the SAATCHI ONLINE stand at the PULSE art fair in New York, which closed Sunday 30 March. It was our best fair yet - we sold 31 works and 9 of the 15 artists whose work we exhibited sold work. Saatchi Online takes no commission from either artist or buyer. The artists who sold work at the fair are: Juliana Beasley, Sarah Bereza , Hannah Bureau, Dana Lauren Goldstein, Koya Abe , Sara Rahbar, Jennifer Sanchez, Alix Smith, and Viktor Timofeev. The response to all the work on the stand was extremely positive and many people said they thought it was the best stand at the fair.
Next up for Saatchi Online artists will be the Scope art fair in Basel in June. This will be for Europe-based artists who have been picked for our weekly Critic's Choice and Top 10s on the Saatchi Online Magazine.
