ShopArt
"A lot of things we do are not important but necessary. Fine Arts are not necessary, but important." This is the motto of ShopArt . Approximately 50 artists present their works together with a short text to help better understand their aims and techniques. Information is also given on their career and exhibitions. The category "Intern" illustrates in a very informative way the economic problems of art and artists nowadays. An art gallery really worth seeing.

Private Eye on Art
Richard Schindler, an artist working and living in Freiburg, developed this outstanding new art forum. "Private Eye on Art" it is a complement to a communication platform and is aesthetically attractive as well as informative. You can find a varied range of topics: A great number of academies, studios, private or national art and culture institutions in the Black Forest are presented in the category "Institutions." "Global Links" offers a lot of outstanding art links. "Public Eye" presents large sized works of contemporary art, including objects of Antes, Rückriem, Hrdlicka, Moore, Oldenburg, Paolozzi. And don't miss the page "Picture this": Creative Gif animations are shown here as well as a whole string of more design-experiments and HTML gimmicks.

Gallery Equinoxe
The Internet gallery Equinoxe here demonstrates how to conduct public relations and marketing in the Internet in an intelligent, informative and pleasant way. Equinoxe is opulent and baroque, but never cluttered or confusing in layout and design. Gigantic background images of the lunar surface in blue tones find their complement in smaller images in the same shades. Some pages and graphics are quite voluminous, they take a long time to load. "Art" presents seven exhibitions with works and biographies of younger artists: pictures, design objects, photographs and installations.

Association of Berlin Galleries
28 Berlin galleries are presented in the exhibition "Bright Spots", with 224 illustrations of 94 less-known as well as celebrated artists, for example: Baselitz, Chilida, Christo, Dine, Luepertz, Vostell, Penck ... Two things however make the exhibition particularly worth seeing. First: The amount of information: large sized pictures, thumbnails, artists' biographies, gallery information. And second, the new form of presentation. Very large, monitor filling (yet still fast loading) photographs of the exhibition rooms (including walls, ceilings, windows) are shown, a click on each individual work of art leads to the artist or the gallery. Innovative!

Virtualitas
This is the presentation of a new, "real virtual" Berlin art gallery. The pages are still under construction, but offer already at this time an amusing and graphically attractive presentation of graphics in three languages (German, English, French). It starts with some perplexing dictionary definitions of the term "virtual". You will stumble over the common use of the word ("virtual museum") in the Web. Many pages bring witty quotations - perhaps even inconspicuous aphorisms: "Sometimes reality is a strange thing". The online presentation focuses (in frequent alternation) art exhibitions, partly combined with literature presentations.

Pixerver
Pixerver shows computer art, many images digitalized with different techniques. Image contributions as well as suggestions and comments of visitors are welcome. You can already find a few such comments in the discussion room: "Is this really art?" All presented works can be downloaded and used for non-commercial purposes. An especially remarkable and innovative idea of Pixerver: The visitors are invited to download graphics and pictures and edit them. Results will then be exhibited in addition to the originals.

Imago
Students of the Academy of Visual Arts in Munich exhibit their works of art in this virtual gallery: computer graphics, animations, installations. Internet visitors can submit their works of art too. Within the category of computer graphics you will find a stylistically varied compound of interesting works, for example portraits, still-lifes, architectural models. We enjoyed very much the presentation of Susanne Benesch, "Nice things from Bavaria." The proverb "In heaven there's no beer, so we drink it here" is a motto to introduce the Huber family with text and pictures (from a family photo album), which has yearned for a TV-appearance and now is presented worldwide in the Internet.
