Company of Art Lovers Serving Art
Lovers... overstockArt.com was founded in 2002 by
Stacy and David Sasson. It was a modest beginning in which the newly married Sasson’s financed the start-up
with a $5,000 loan from a local Wichita Bank. As the sole employees operating out of the couple's suburban
Kansas home, their first art collection offered only a handful of unframed oil paintings to choose from.
The company soon prospered relocating to a converted warehouse on the busy Rock Road Street, just outside of the
luxury shopping center, Bradley Fair. By 2005 the company had a handful of employees and stood on the verge of
amazingly rapid growth.
This success was the result of the Sassons’ long hours of hard work and intimate knowledge of the oil painting
business. It was also a matter of fortuitous timing.
overstockArt.com was among the earliest online galleries of hand painted oil paintings and the first to focus on
art reproductions of great masters such as Van Gogh, Monet and Picasso. The company's early years coincided with an
explosion in the popularity of Impressionist art and the development of exciting new relationships with overseas
art studios. As the Modern Art movement was conquering the auction floors getting record breaking numbers in
Sotheby’s and Christie’s, overstockArt.com was slowly becoming a destination for art lovers who could not afford
the high price tags of galleries, but wanted to enjoy hand painted art of great masters in their
homes.
