Why buy original art from Zatista? We'll tell you here
Find the Million Dollar Paintings

For the owners of new homes with blank white walls across from the coffee table or above the Ikea bed, buying art is on the ‘to do’ list. Those who haven’t started collecting original art hang posters of paintings famously known for being great, matching identical prints in so many other homes. New buyers often find it hard to buy art if they are not frequent museum goers or gallery patrons. Others feel that outside of work by a famous painter, they don’t know how to judge original art. Think there’s a certain magic to the reprint that the rest of the world has framed in their kitchens too? Try to tell these million dollar pieces apart from pieces currently listed on Zatista at far lower price points. These first two photos depict the well-worn subject of a city skyline. Does the bright night of LA draw you or the fog framed view of New York City? One of these sold at Sotheby’s for a cool $2.9 million, and the other is available on Zatista for $350.

As picturesque houses go, these are one of a kind. Is the red house on the lake worth $40.5 million at Christie’s or is it the house with the street lamp? One requires a fortune while the other is available for $485 on Zatista.
