Amazon Gets Into Fine Art

It’s official—you can buy virtually everything on Amazon. The Wall Street Journal says the online behemoth will start dabbling in fine art this month, opening a new section on its site to sell “one-of-a-kind paintings, prints and other fine art.” Traditional art dealers aren’t sure it’s an idea that will work, noting that buyers like to see prospective pieces in person, not on the web.
