Beholder Photography Show in San Francisco

Strong proponents of new business models for art sales, we're always on the lookout for dealers and retailers that defy the standard brick-and-mortar exhibition and representation model. The Beholder is one such example, a San Francisco based dealer (Suzanne Shade) that promotes her artists through an online catalog and e-commerce site. While there are infinite sites for purchasing art online, few sites present gallery-quality contemporary work while also including e-commerce utilities more commonly associated with big box retailers. The Beholder shows you the scale of each work, allows customers trial periods with the artwork, and also offers customized gift cards.
