Girl meets boy, artist meets buyer. It seems a simple tale, but both seem to prompt the question \u201cWhy was it so hard for us to meet?\u201d For the dating world, Tinder helps to match significant others. For the art world, it\u2019s Wydr<\/a>. Based in Switzerland, this new app, available for iOS and Android, strives to help \u201cartists and art lovers to connect in some way.\u201d The \u201copen art-trading platform\u201d strips away the uncomfortable nature of an in-person sale from the transaction, making it easier for artists to expose their work to a wider range of interested buyers, and for buyers to feel less pressured when making a decision.<\/p>\n

For the Collector<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tagged as \u201cTinder for Art,\u201d the idea of this app is for the user to swipe left for works they are not interested in and swipe right for works they would consider buying. The works for which they swipe right will be collected in a gallery \u2013 their shop from which you can make purchases. From there, the potential buyer can add a work to their cart or continue \u201cshopping.\u201d Swiping is purely a reaction to the aesthetics of the work, without having details like it\u2019s price (which is in Euros, so you may want to keep a conversion calculator<\/a> handy) and medium, which are only included in the gallery. Shipping is free aside from any customs or import fees.<\/p>\n

For the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artists can place their works for sale on the app by providing Wydr with contact information and the details of the work, including an image. Once the work is processed, it will be available for \u201cswiping,\u201d as described above. The artist also determines the price, and Wyder marks the price up to include its commission of 30% for original works and 100% for digital prints and a flat fee for shipping (which is free for the buyer). Works can be available for sale via other avenues \u2013 if it sells elsewhere (yay!), the work will be removed from the app. If the work sells on the app however, the artist is required to ship the piece to the buyer, and will be reimbursed for shipping costs.<\/p>\n
