General

What is the mission of 5 Pieces Gallery?
We want to open up the world of art and provide democratic access to it. We aim to enable art lovers and collectors to start building a high-quality collection, irrespective of funds at their disposal.

Beyond the obvious value of exposure to a wide art-curious public through the internet and related publicity, the sale of our artworks directly benefits the artists and institutions we work with.

5 Pieces Gallery mostly sells contemporary fine art with a strong focus on emerging and established artists working in the media of painting, drawing, mixed media, print, and photography. We have a large collection of several hundred artworks, featuring some of the most talented artists around the world.

You can keep up to date with new releases and happenings by subscribing to our newsletter and joining our art club in the footer of this website.

If you have seen the work on display, please supply us with the name of the artist and work title displayed and we will provide you with further information and send you additional pictures of the work.

We strive to include a wide range of selection of art from our inventory on the website, but not every artwork is available online. Just send us an email if you would like to know if other artworks by this artist are available.

Yes, we can place your order. Please contact us.

5 Pieces Gallery is a trusted source for contemporary art online. Every 5 Pieces Gallery original and print comes accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by 5 Pieces Gallery and hand signed by the artist. In addition to the edition number and original signature, the certificate features the work’s title, the artist’s name, and the date of issue. The certificate is securely packaged and sealed and shipped together with your order. Having these items shipped together with your artwork ensures that you are getting a real work of art.

No. All artworks come directly from the artists.

By publishing nearly all prices on the website, we take a different approach because our objective is to make the purchase of art as easy and transparent as possible. Our goal is to offer the lowest possible prices while still appropriately valuing the quality of each artwork. We can offer relatively low prices on high quality art because we take great efforts to reduce our fixed costs and to find under-exposed artists who have not yet built an extensive collector base. In setting individual prices, we begin by considering the degree of exposure and demand the artist brings with them to 5 Pieces Gallery and the prices at which an artist has sold work in the past. This is our best indication of how collectors already value the work.

Collecting is a very personal experience for everyone – what is most important is that you find artists whose work speaks to you in a unique way. We only represent the artwork of artists who have the potential to become household names and are worth every dollar you spend. But even though the value for the artworks of most 5 Pieces Gallery artists generally do increase as their careers advance and as there is more demand for their work, we hope our collectors purchase art at 5 Pieces Gallery as a personal investment—because it moves them on an aesthetic, emotional, and intellectual level. Although many of our collectors enjoy purchasing art as an investment, we advocate buying art primarily for the enjoyment you get from the work. After that, the investment potential becomes incidental and merely a potential bonus to your overall enjoyment of the work.

A limited edition print comes from an edition with a predetermined, finite quantity. For example, a limited edition of 50 means only 50 prints will ever be created in this edition. Our limited editions are delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity that is hand signed and numbered (e.g. 1/50) by the artist. Additionally, the artist will hand sign and number the print itself.

How are the prints made?
We print on museum quality paper and use the finest archival inks. The details and materials used for each print and original are included on the product detail page.

How does one care for prints?
Each 5 Pieces Gallery print meets the highest standard of quality to achieve the best results and longevity. Please go to the page Art Consulting where you can find more information about preservation, conservation and restoration of print editions. You can read all about care for prints.

We don't have an in-house service but can recommend a framer in most major cities.

We currently show the work of nearly one hundred international artists and are constantly adding new artists, so we can offer a broad and fresh collection of fine art. Our director and art consultants regularly review the work of upcoming artists, in addition to going out in museums, galleries and to art fairs.
