What is Platform?

Platform is an online space developed by David Zwirner to host art exhibitions, sales, and projects. Launching as a stand-alone website in September 2020, Platform draws on the gallery’s industry-leading experience in online sales and digital innovation to create a marketplace to offer art online to a global audience of collectors.

Platform emerged in the spring of 2020 from David Zwirner’s initiative to host peers, colleagues, and friends on the gallery’s online platform at a moment when physical galleries were temporarily closed in response to the global health crisis. Recognizing that not all galleries have the resources, technological infrastructure, or audiences to produce and sustain digital sales, David Zwirner hosted online presentations from forty-nine galleries from five cities during the period of lockdown, ultimately leading to the creation of the Platform website.

David Zwirner is the founder of David Zwirner, a leading contemporary art gallery with locations in New York, London, Paris, and Hong Kong representing seventy artists and estates.

Artists and Artworks

How are the artists featured on your website involved?

Each artist, artist’s estate, or collector has donated the value of an artwork in the form of an in-kind contribution to the Biden Victory Fund for the purpose of helping raise money for the campaign of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Democrats down the ticket. Through their participation, the artists acknowledge the importance of this moment and are showing their support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the office of the White House and Democrats across the country.

What’s the difference between Featured Works and Buy Now Works?

The “Featured Works” in Artists for Biden are the premium artworks in the sale, most with a higher total value than the “Buy Now” works. All Featured Works will be managed and sold through the inquiry process and not be available via click to buy.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the Featured Works, please proceed to “Inquire.” You will be contacted by a representative from Artists for Biden or the artist representative, depending on the nature of your inquiry, to discuss the work and the terms of the sale.

The Jeff Koons edition is a Featured Work available to click to buy, pending availability.

Note that clicking “Inquire” does not bind you to acquiring the work. Furthermore, inquiring about a work does not secure the work for you.

For all other works, including the Jeff Koons edition, you will have the option to purchase the artwork immediately by clicking “Buy Now.” When you click “Buy Now,” you will be taken to a Platform.art page to complete your transaction with a credit or debit card. You must finish the payment process in order to confirm the sale. After finishing the transaction, you will receive an email from the campaign with next steps.

Do the works come framed or unframed?

An artwork will be unframed unless indicated as “framed” in the details provided in its caption or “Read More” page. If a work is not framed, its unframed dimensions will be listed in its caption. If the work is unframed, the framing costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Some artists, galleries, or studios will have quotes available for framing once a work is purchased.
