Artnet Launches New, Mobile-Optimized Price Database

• Reimagined, intuitive user experience
• Elastic search functionality
• Responsive Analytics
• API first architecture

New York/ Berlin: March 24, 2023: Artnet AG, the leading platform for art market data and media, and the global online marketplace for fine art, is excited to announce the release of its reimagined Price Database -  the same trusted data with a new intuitive and contemporary experience.

The renewed Price Database is built on a new API-first architecture, introducing the opportunity for transformational new data delivery formats. A mobile-optimized design will ease access to our global user base, and the implementation of elastic search functionality introduces vast new search possibilities.

Artnet’s Data Science team has produced intelligent, reactive analytics that not only send suggestions and alerts tailored to a user’s search requirements, but also generate deep insight and understanding of the art market. Some of the insights provided are differences in the estimate and sale price as well as comparisons to similar artists and categories. Through ongoing investment in the Price Database product, Artnet continues to lead the charge in creating market transparency as it strives towards its vision of creating a more efficient global art market.

"The release of the new Price Database is a major milestone on Artnet’s product development roadmap, and sets a foundation for our future platform experience. Many more will follow this year. Artnet is actively working to implement several important optimisations and features on the platform to further improve the user experience.” said Jacob Pabst, CEO

Introduced in 1989, the Price Database has shaped the art market. This revolutionary product was a major  driving force behind the art market’s tremendous expansion and fundamentally altered how art is bought and sold. The Price Database is the industry gold standard and the unquestioned leader in art market data, with over 16 million auction records and over 200 million data points.

Veteran auctioneer and art dealer Simon de Pury said: "Artnet is an essential tool for both art market professionals and art lovers at large. Every day, I consult its Price Database."

Artnet’s clients include top auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s, financial media outlets like Bloomberg and Forbes, and governmental institutions such as the IRS and FBI. Now, our customers can navigate the art market confidently— without barriers. Search for every piece — across all mediums — sold at notable auction houses since 1985. Users can discover an artwork's market value at their desk—or on the auction floor—in an instant. Our specialists verify every piece of data we hold, which is unique in the industry and the reason why world-famous art institutions and auction houses put their faith in us, every single day.

“The sky-high prices we see today would have been impossible without the Price Database. Before that, people were completely in the dark about the value of paintings,” said Hans Neuendorf, founder, Artnet.
