PicassoMio.com is independently ranked as the world's most popular art sales destination. In fact, Alexa.com, the leading Website ranking and Internet research company, ranks PicassoMio.com higher than every art gallery, major art auction houses, such as Bonhams and Phillips and major museums, such as Guggenheim Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum.

On a comparative basis, PicassoMio receives several times more visitors than the combined visitors of the major art fairs, like Art Basel, Art Basel Miami, The Armory Show and the Frieze. While the art fairs do not reveal their annual sales, we believe that we are selling more artworks than any major art fair or any other art-related entity.
