What is a favorites collection?

A collection of favorites is similar to a list of shortcuts to works on Artmajeur. Collections are a great, inexpensive way to get your work in front of potential clients!

Who can collect works of art?
All visitors (art lovers, gallery owners, artistic agents, decorators, etc.) can create collections, all they need is a user account (Google account, Facebook account, or Artmajeur account). It is not possible to collect works anonymously: users must identify themselves to collect works.

What are collections for?
Buyers usually collect artwork so they can easily follow links to artwork they like. This way they can easily find the artwork to buy later (or buy a print). They can use it as a wish list for a birthday or a wedding. Collectors can easily share their collection with other art lovers!

Designers, art advisors and architects also use the collections to create a selection of works of art that they will use for their project.

Why are there private collections?
Collectors may not want to share their collection with the public for private reasons: a husband who wants to give his wife a gift, a decorator who plans to buy several works for an ongoing project, a school teacher who does not want no students teasing him etc...

In these cases, collectors choose the "private collection" option, so the collection is not accessible to the public.

Is it possible to prevent people from collecting or sharing my images?
No, and it is not recommended! this is a basic feature appreciated by users, and the information shared is already public.

Sharing is at the heart of the Internet: whether on Pinterest, Facebook or Artmajeur, it is the most effective means of distribution to promote works of art.

Keep in mind that sharing or bookmarking is nothing more than simply posting a link to a work. The sharing of the works does not confer any particular rights on the collectors and does not alter the protection of the works.

Artmajeur also offers very advanced tools to protect works:

• Physical Protection (secure hosting platform)
• Technical protection (unalterable watermarks)
• Legal protection (certificate of deposit certified under the Berne Convention).
