That didn’t take long. The surprise purchase of Art.com by Walmart has already led to the shutdown of its international sites and those of its sister brand, Allposters.com. For Art.com, that impacts Visit Art.co.uk and Art.fr.

AllPosters.com has 25 localized sites including Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Japan,  according to its website.

We have reached out to Walmart for a response. Thanks to Vincent Granier for the tip.
