Forget for a moment the traditional assumptions regarding the fine arts industry. The stereotyped mythology about artists, galleries and auction services are undergoing a substantial reexamination.

Slicing through the traditional marketing and investment rhetoric of the art world, he illustrates present and future sales and buying trends and opportunities for both original and reproduction artwork.
'A Right Brained Guide' features over 1200+ website references in seventy-five categories making it an indispensable guide to understanding and maximizing Internet usage. Among the referenced categories include artist and collector reference and research resources, website development services, direct mail sources, licensing outlets and agencies, consumer and business auction exchanges, barter outlets, domain name registration and reseller service, e-commerce services, search engines and indexes, online media publications, payment services, delivery, website hosting and troubleshooting services. legal and appraisal outlets, and virtual fine art marketplaces.

Pixiport:Photographers Biography Alessandro Bavari: "Alessandro Bavari was born in Latina, a coastal town south of Rome, Italy, on april 1963.
Grown up in an italo-french family, he was early attracted by artistic matters and decided to attend art college, where he began making photomontages at the age of 15.
Then, he studied scenography, photography, history of art and various other topics at the Academy of Fine Arts, in Rome, where he developped strong grounding in the techniques of oil, watercolours and engraving, while experimenting at the same time methods mixing tar, glue, industrial paint and exploring photographic printing techniques.
During these years, he took the habit of making numerous photographs everywhere he goes : human and animal matters, objects and architecture, pictures and landscapes, fossils and materials, which join his mental museum, also strongly influenced by indo-european cultural myths and allegories as well as 14th and 15th century artists.
Since 1993, he adds digital manipulation to his art, developping a personal artistic language using industrial and organic products from nature before incorporating photographic process, then computer digitalization, which leads to 'a kind of contamination among the arts dissolving the boundaries which distinguish them'.
Alessandro Bavari lives and works in Italy.
