Samsung Art Work Collection

If you have a Samsung Frame TV, you can purchase original artworks and decorate your room. As you know, when you set your TV to the Art Mode, it looks like a real painting. The best thing is that you don’t have to settle for one picture. Instead, you can change it every week if you want.

The Samsung Art Collection is carefully chosen for you by famous curators. It consists of more than 100 high-quality photos, organized in different categories. You can find anything, from landscapes to architecture. In fact, many world-famous photographers display their work here.
