Cook & Becker is an art dealership founded by people with years of experience in the creative industry, in software development & e-commerce and in running international online services and websites.

Unsatisfied with existing website & e-commerce systems not tailored to the specific needs or art & image related businesses, we decided to build our own. For our own use but also for other galleries and art business to use.

We call ourselves “Next-gen Art Dealers” because of our gallery’s focus on digital art and the belief that digital & online will play an important role in the future of art.
