For many artists a website is their most important gallery.

It’s the first place many people encounter their work and where they can tell us about their creative process, so it’s really important they get it right.

If you’re thinking of developing your own digital space in the future, why not learn from these artists below?

Tauba Auerbach

Wim Delvoye

Wim Delvoye’s cartoon town is an inventive example of an artist’s website. It looks very different visually to the pieces he produces as a conceptual artist, but it certainly introduces some of the themes he explores!

Rafaël Rozendaal
