One of my favorite new web discoveries has been the website
Art.sy .
It goes along with the Tumblr-esque Fancy, but this time for artwork. Once invited, you can select your favorite artists or art movements and Art.sy will take it from there showing you thousands of works from artists selected and those recommended.
Not only is it very user-friendly, but if you happen to be a millionaire who can afford the artwork, it links you directly to the gallery where you can buy it. I personally have a few Warhols and Basquiats in my cart, but just haven't hit the checkout button yet. Just waiting on my winning lottery ticket for that one.
Here's some of my favorites from the contemporary selection.
