Peggy - Buy and Sell Art

I love this app so far but the major issue I’ve been having is the digital fingerprint proving it’s real art. Although I admire that, it seems to only work on paintings where the camera can recognize depth. If you do illustrations, ink work on paper it’s almost like the camera doesn’t recognize its separate from any background you put it on, its taken me over an hour to submit one piece, I’ve tried playing around with lighting, backgrounds and it’s frustrating. Over the span of 2 days I’ve only been able to submit 2 pieces.

I don’t have too much experience with this site, but I bid on a painting where the artist’s asking price was $150. I was the highest bidder but at the last minute the artist upped their ask to $750, kicking me off of the bid. Peggy said that they are allowed to do this but I hardly call that a fair auction. It also turned me off to that artist who did that to all of her paintings as well. One went from $640 to $3,200 at the last second. Pitiful.

Not only can I explore beautiful and thought-provoking art, I can learn about the artists and galleries behind the art as well. Pegcasts are Peggy’s version of podcasts that feature interviews with artists, and I love listening as I scroll through artwork on the platform. I’m excited to buy art, and Peggy gives me the ability to purchase art with ease and have it delivered right to my home. Looking forward to growing my collection with confidence with Peggy!
