In an increasingly technological age, fine art acquisitions are made more and more on the Internet and not in the gallery. The Internet has provided a collector with accessibility to art located across the globe, all without leaving the computer. In this way, technological evolution has aided the collector in fine art acquisitions. In other ways, it has placed new obstacles in the collector’s path. ModernMasters Fine Art seeks to help collectors navigate in the new online gallery environment.

We understand that a print from a renowned artist is a major investment. It can be difficult to know whom to trust, especially when purchasing a print or multiple online when concerns about images, pricing, and authenticity abound. In part due to these precise concerns, Rhonda Long-Sharp, J.D., an IFAA (www.ifaacertified.com) appraiser and owner of ModernMasters, examines and verifies the authenticity of each work, allowing ModernMasters Fine Art to provide an unparalleled guarantee that works will be authentic and that the condition is as represented. Furthermore, with only a rare exception, all works listed on our website are owned by ModernMasters; they are in our inventory. The authenticity guarantee for each work is for the lifetime of the purchaser. The condition guarantee permits the collector, as if in a brick and mortar gallery, to personally examine the work with the knowledge that any piece not in the condition as stated by ModernMasters may be returned immediately for a full refund. Additionally, ModernMasters photographic database keeps full verso and forso images of every piece we own. These photos are available before purchase.

ModernMasters Fine Art is dedicated to maintaining this kind of integrity throughout each acquisition process. We are founded on the very basic principles of integrity, disclosure, and fairness, and our goal is to provide an experience as close to a gallery as possible in a virtual world.

We pride ourselves on handling top-notch works of art in top-notch condition. To that end, we personally examine each piece for condition through use of magnification, illumination on a light box, and, where appropriate, inspection by a professional raking light. Please visit us at The Conrad Indianapolis, 50 West Washington, Downtown Indy. ModernMasters and The Conrad have partnered to create "A Fine Art Experience" featuring two floors of modern and contemporary art available for purchase along with important art events and receptions that place on a quarterly basis. Art Ambassadors are available to assist with guided art tours. Hotel packages are available through The Conrad.
