To refer to online "art" is an over-generalization. Art takes many forms – peoems, essays, illustrations, ascii art. And yes, this has all been "on the internt" since the beginning. Artsy seems to be addressing a specific segment of this market: that which you would find in galleries, museums and personal collections. It is an traditional world that is entrenched in old distribution methods. And, trom what I can see, it is ripe for disruption – which Artsy seems to be doing quite well. Disclaimer: Carter pitched me on the idea at one point. I was sold ;)
