Williams Sonoma Home Debuts Online Art Gallery

Williams Sonoma Home has launched an online fine art gallery in partnership with Los Angeles-based art curation brand Tappan Collective. The new gallery will feature exclusive limited-edition contemporary fine art pieces ranging from original paintings to archival prints and sculptures.

Designed to revolutionize the process for transforming consumers’ walls through art, Williams Sonoma Home’s new digital art gallery will provide shoppers with a new opportunity to collect fine art and discover new emerging artists.

“Williams Sonoma Home’s partnership with Tappan Collective allows our customers access to incredible fine art across several mediums,” said Williams Sonoma President, Felix Carbullido. “Offering a curation of original paintings, fine art prints and sculptures to our customers provides them a unique opportunity to add an additional layer of self-expression to the design of their homes.”

“At Tappan, we think that collecting fine art is for everyone. We believe in making art accessible,” said Tappan Collective Founder, Chelsea Nassib. “We’re thrilled to partner with Williams Sonoma Home to introduce customers to new art, all while helping these incredible emerging artists find their way into collectors’ homes.”

The artists featured in the Tappan Collective Collection for Williams Sonoma Home include:

• Alarah Gee: A visual artist based in Yorkshire, North of England, Gee is known for her minimalist line drawings and meditative ink paintings that recontextualize everyday household objects with a focus on geometric, post-modern forms and the artist's thoughtful gestures.
• Astri Styrkestad Haukaas: Abstract painter & founder of Danish artspace KVIT, Astri Styrkestad Haukaas's expressive paintings draw their colors and tones from nature. For each series, Styrkestad Haukaas paints her subjective experience of the natural world -- often painting the same space multiple times as she remembers it through different, changing moments.
• Daniel Fletcher: London-based painter Daniel Fletcher's large abstract paintings and hand-pulled prints make use of contemporary color stories and authentic, expressive gestures.
• Firoozeh Neman: Ojai-based artist Firoozeh Neman's practice encompasses sculpture, drawing, and painting. Neman lets the energy of the work guide her as she creates.
• Tycjan Knut: London-based Knut’s large, minimalist paintings have been shown extensively across Europe and are widely known for their subtle use of color, tonal difference and abstraction.
• Astrid Verhoef: Verhoef’s surreal photographs explore the complicated relationship between humans and nature.
• Brian Merriam: Merriam travels to the most remote parts of the world to capture rarely seen landscapes and celestial phenomena, including the Himalayas, the Aurora Borealis, lush Hawaiian jungles and total solar eclipses.
