Good site for buying wall art/pictures?

Can anyone recommend a good site for buying pictures/art from? Things like nice pictures of beaches, mountains and other scenaries, also pictures of cities, like new york, chicago, beijing, etc...

Also with the option of framing. I have searched and there are quite a few so it's difficult judging them. Has anyone ordered from an online place?

Thanks.

Re: Good site for buying wall art/pictures?

Usually I get posters framed, I buy the posters from AllPosters (they have the option of framing but it's expensive - find a local art place that can do it - you'll get a nice wood finish with glass for around £20-50 - depending on the size)

Pushposters are good for music posters
EasyArt and PopartUK are also both quite good.

Generally I use AllPosters - there's always discounts / free delivery codes to be found online and the posters always come quick and in perfect condition.

Like I say they do framing but it's way overpriced, a local art shop should do it cheaper and better.



edit: also with allposters, if you're worried about quality, you can return the poster if you're not happy with it, shipping charges still apply but you can get a replacement or a refund within 30 days no questions asked. they do some great city landscape pics that are like 100cm x 35cm or so, most major cities, i'm looking at getting 2 myself - by James Blakeway

Re: Good site for buying wall art/pictures?

Do a search for photographers that specialise in travel and/or landscape photography. Some well known ones:

Peter Lik
Joe Cornish
Peter Watson
Steve Parish
Art Wolfe

I bought this print from AllPosters recently, and it's very good quality. I highly recommend them!

Oooh that's nice, I got a Roy Lichtenstein poster, the quality is excellent and the frame from a local place really sets it off perfectly
