First off, I'm a big fan of letting the product do the heavy lifting colorwise in a layout, especially an image focused product site like this. So, kudos.
I'm not a fan of the purple. Let me tell you why in this case. It's too close to the grey. I'd go ahead and either change the purple to a screen of black if you're going for the complete monochrome feel OR choose a pop color that allows the color to do it's job of visually creating a 'map' of sorts for the user to follow as far as what/where to look on the page.
I'd also increase header sizes by a pt, possibly 2... on the sub nav below the main image and the dividers underneath that.
I'd like to see the buttons under (fine art repro, about spleen art.... etc.) increased in size as well. I'd even consider having them the same size as the one attached to the 'featured artworks' button. Speaking of that button, I will say that the way that particular button looks now, if I clicked it, I would think it was a dropdown, could be confusing. Unless of course it is a dropdown. :)
On spleenv302.jpg, I think a keyword tag cloud would be more valuable here than solely an artist name tag cloud. I see the images have keywords that you can search by, might consider working this into that space combined with the artists name. I assume that the bigger the artist name the more times they've been searched so the consumer can infer that that artist is more popular than the others? Or is it based on how many works the user has on the site?
I agree with the purchase comment in the review above. Where is the purchase button? In addition, I would consider defaulting to a currency based on a registrant's selection when they register & allow for the other currencies to be shown if needed. This may be something you've already considered.
One other item of mention, I'm not clear on the purpose of having the logo mark randomly in the footer on the right side like that, can you talk a little bit about why you've placed it there?
