The Future of Collecting: Why EzelDotz is at the forefront of the Art Market’s next phase
At EzelDotz, we believe collecting art should be as inspiring as the works themselves. That’s why we’re proud to be building one of the most dynamic online markets for contemporary and collectible art; a place where limited editions and original works are listed daily, often at prices far below traditional gallery walls.
“We’re seeing a real shift in how collectors engage with art,” says Gilly Tallantyre, COO of EzelDotz. “The old model of waiting for gallery openings or relying on closed networks is being replaced by platforms like ours, where transparency, access, and value are at the heart of the experience.”
What the UBS & Art Basel Report Tells Us
According to the Art Basel & UBS Global Art Market Report 2025, global art sales in 2024 were approximately USD 57.5 billion, representing a 12% drop year-on-year. However, beneath that headline decline lurks a more encouraging trend: transaction volumes increased by 3%, with more activity in lower‑price tiers. (ubs.com)

The number of transactions globally rose to around 40.5 million. (artbasel.com)
-
Sales in the top‑end (especially works over USD 10 million) have dropped sharply in both value and volume. (artbasel.com)
-
Conversely, smaller dealers, those with turnover under USD 250,000, have seen increases; more first‑time buyers are entering the market.
-
Online sales remain an increasingly important channel, especially for more affordable works.
Why EzelDotz is Poised for This Shift
“One of the things that excites me most,” says Gilly, “is how our model gives both seasoned collectors and first‑time buyers a fair shot at owning remarkable art. Offers are always considered, and our pricing is consistently lower than what you’d find at primary galleries. It opens up collecting to a broader audience, while still preserving the integrity and value of the works.”
This aligns closely with what the UBS/Art Basel findings show: a market that’s cooling at the top end, but growing in opportunity at the middle and affordable ends.

-
Transparency and choice: Platforms like EzelDotz give you direct visibility of what’s available; you can discover new artists or editions you might not see in traditional gallery rotations.
-
Changing buyer base: The UBS Report notes that new buyers are increasingly entering the market, something we see too. Whether you’re a repeat collector or someone buying your first fine print, there is a place for you.
Looking Forward
With best prices, daily listings, and a transparent, evolving marketplace, the future of art collecting is already here and it’s happening at EzelDotz.
“The online market is no longer a secondary channel – it’s integral to how art is discovered, bought, and appreciated,” Gilly notes. “In an age of change and uncertainty, giving collectors everywhere access – not just to work, but to fairness – is the direction the art world is going, and it’s what EzelDotz was built to deliver.”
