When Avant Arte first dived into the world of digital art last year, we wanted to make sure we were adding to the community by bringing our expertise in print-making and editioning to the table and introducing the work of artists to our community of over three million young collectors across the globe. Partnering with a leading patron like Medici and the artists he has selected is the realization of that wish, and I couldn’t be happier to be bringing these artists and our community together.”
