PARIS, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Artmarket.com reports Q3 revenue growth (y-o-y) and announces significant increase in subscription and service costs, deployment of the most advanced version of Artprice.com in mid-December which is able to lead, amongst different issues, to a change in the financial mannequin with paid advertisers totally built-in into its databases and providers, its Artist pages and its Web 3.0 dimension.
In mid-December 2022, Artprice by Artmarket will deploy its new version, the most advanced in its historical past, that may enable it to offer a way more complete response to buyer inquiries and data queries in this digital decade. After a growth part prolonged by 18 months resulting from the Covid pandemic, this main revamp has concerned all of Artprice’s databases and providers.
After a name for tenders at the finish of 2019, Artprice by Artmarket chosen a crew of very high-level and dedicated exterior consultants to audit and develop a full overhaul of Artprice.com, with a stable UI/UX strategy (UX and UI respectively stand for User Experience and User Interface). The outcomes of this user-centric strategy might be seen in mid-December.
The new web site can even boast a brand new financial mannequin with the inclusion of paying advertisers totally built-in into its databases and providers. These advertisers might be primarily the 6,400 public sale homes worldwide affiliated with Artprice for greater than twenty years and which now conduct 98% of their gross sales on-line. They will now be capable of spotlight their future gross sales in paying advertiser mode, based mostly on the search standards utilized by Artprice’s 5.4 million customers. The ensuing focusing on might be extraordinarily related.
We notice that for over 50 years, the financial mannequin of public sale homes has systematically concerned promoting prices – saying particulars of upcoming gross sales – that accounted for about 34% of their general prices, regardless of the nation or the dimension of their exercise.
Since auctions at the moment are 98% marketed on the Internet, the stress from Artprice-affiliated public sale homes in 2022 to advertise their gross sales for a charge has discovered the finest answer on our new web site. It is barely logical that public sale homes now think about their commercial of future gross sales (34% of the value of the sale) makes extra sense on the Internet quite than in the printed press.
In the previous, Artprice has at all times thought of internet advertising incompatible with its databases in phrases of readability and notoriety. It was subsequently a serious problem to reply to demand from public sale homes for promoting whereas sustaining Artprice’s core DNA.
In the new roll-out, the 6,400 public sale operators will be capable of combine and merge the bulletins of their future gross sales into the total industrial course of of Artprice by Artmarket, together with “pushing” the artists chosen as favorites to Artprice’s 5.4 million customers (alerts by textual content messages, RSS, instantaneous messaging, e-mail, My Artists web page, and so on.).
It is sort of potential that the promoting revenue generated by these 6,400 public sale homes affiliated with Artprice since 1997 will finally exceed our subscription revenue (presently 90% of Artprice’s whole revenue). Artprice subsequently believes that by responding to a long-standing request from its associate public sale homes, the new business mannequin might double its future revenue.
In responding to the quite a few and repeated requests from its 6,400 affiliated public sale homes round the world to have the ability to profitably promote their future gross sales, Artprice has made each effort to stay devoted to its precept of prioritizing the readability of its databases.
Artmarket.com might be introducing a significant increase in subscriptions and providers charges in January 2023 that may generate an increase in future earnings. As Artmarket.com has been worthwhile for a decade, the bulk of the extra revenue will translate into extra web earnings as a result of beneath the French fiscal regime, we will generate as much as 90 million euros p/a with out incurring extra tax prices.
The charge will increase observe intensive session with Artprice by Artmarket clients who will proceed to profit from our databases and providers, being properly conscious that they discover important information in Artprice that they can’t discover wherever else. Our indeniable place as World Leader in Art Market Information since 1997 should now be commercially exploited at its true worth. Remember that our databases are frequently up to date with ultra-detailed and certified information: properly over 1,000,000 new information logs yearly.
According to a consensus of artwork market professionals, Artprice’s databases are immediately unquestionably the most complete in the world with practically 800,000 artists referenced with their biographies, public sale outcomes, indices, decision-making help instruments, signatures & monograms, details about previous and future gross sales. In whole, this provides as much as a number of tens of hundreds of thousands of inter-connected and excessive value-added information logs, all protected by numerous mental property rights.
Despite the substantial worth increase, Artprice by Artmarket’s supply stays by far the best-placed in contrast with the slowly evolving supply from our competitors which affords limited-search annual skilled subscriptions (e.g. 150 queries for €350/12 months, 450 queries for €975/12 months and, in the occasion of overrun, €2.45 per search). (Information licensed by Court Bailiff in November 2022).
In the world of “unlimited” affords, these affords are fairly merely anachronistic. Moreover, the competitions’ supply is predicated on information relating to solely 330,000 artists and from a range of only one,600 public sale homes, whereas Artprice by Artmarket covers 800,000 artists and 6,400 public sale homes, with limitless subscriptions from €265 to €529/12 months together with a spread of indices, decision-making instruments and signatures & monograms that’s distinctive in the world. In brief, Artprice’s supply will stay extremely aggressive even after the charge increase and with additional margin for added worth rises in the future.
Somewhat counter-intuitively – given the geopolitical and financial context – the world artwork market is displaying insolent well being, with common public sale information being hammered for works from all inventive intervals, regardless of the nation, throughout current gross sales periods. And there have been no cancellations of traditional and/or status cataloged gross sales for 2022 or 2023.
The main public sale homes and buyers are properly conscious that artwork is a safe-haven funding, as proven by the Artprice100© index, which has clearly outperformed conventional inventory market indices. The present interval of inventory market jitters has channeled new funds and investments into the artwork market. As the finish of the 12 months approaches, it’s clear that the battle in Ukraine and fears of a serious recession haven’t had a destructive impression on the artwork market.
On 8 November final, AFP, the French Press Agency, highlighted this phenomenon in an article titled “Collection of Microsoft co-founder could fetch over a billion dollars in New York“, including “By auctioning in New York the art collected by Paul Allen (Microsoft’s co-founder who died in 2018), Christie’s is aiming for a historic sales record in a bold move that reflects a market whose indicators are higher than ever, despite the geopolitical and economic crises.“
During December 2022, as half of our main revamp, we might be introducing significant adjustments to the presentation of our databases and Artist Pages on Artprice by Artmarket. This growth, conceived with a UI/UX strategy, will subsequently be efficient forward of the tariff increase with the goal of boosting Artmarket.com’s revenues from the very begin of 2023.

Thanks to UX design, on-line navigation is extra fluid and more practical. It eliminates the incomprehension that customers usually encounters in their every day on-line experiences and takes under consideration not simply the logistics of on-line navigation, but in addition the ’emotional’ facet of on-line navigation.
The Interface facet (UI design) of our modifications has targeted on enhancing the interplay of Artprice customers with our databases and providers. This strategy has been used in any respect phases in the growth of our new web site, proper by to its roll-out in mid-December 2022.
Unlike UX (consumer expertise), UI is extra targeted on the visible facet in order to draw the consumer’s eye and to encourage Artprice customers to stay on the numerous databases and providers. The UI strategy has facilitated navigation by all of Artprice’s resolution help instruments. Its major goal is to draw new prospects and clients, fanatics, collectors and artwork market professionals. Thus, Artprice has modified its R&D coverage by collaborating in a extremely selective method with the absolute best consultants in the area in order to accumulate new market shares.
The Artists Pages are the principal and most frequent entry factors to all of Artprice’s databases and providers as a result of artists are the basis on which the artwork market has been based mostly since its origin.

All of the artwork market’s market-makers, and in explicit the majority of its public sale homes round the world, now have an NFT division for cataloged and on-line gross sales all through the 12 months. Likewise, all the main constructions in the museum/artwork galleries trade are beginning to publish their very own NFTs.
In addition, the main overhaul of Artprice by Artmarket.com will ultimately enable the exploitation of the largest proprietary assortment of unique manuscripts and printed gross sales catalogs in the world. Dating again to 1700, and owned by Artprice, this assortment is the very basis of Artprice’s digital standardization of the artwork market and of its place as the World Leader in Art Market Information for the previous 25 years.
Thus, Artprice customers and prospects will now be capable of navigate from the Artist Pages to a number of centuries of information that Artprice by Artmarket’s historians and editors have been organizing over the final 25 years, permitting them to immerse themselves in the distinctive and mysterious historical past of the artwork market.
These new pages will spotlight the wealth of Artmarket.com’s databases and providers, with excessive added worth. The use of algorithmic AI (Artificial Intelligence) will enable entry to very related and customized suggestions, to reinforce clients’ information of the artwork market and to generate extra subtle subscriptions and subsequently extra business revenue.
Indeed, this characteristic takes Artprice by Artmarket shoppers and customers right into a Web 3.0 dimension and – by extension – into the area of Art NFTs, thereby giving Artmarket.com a substantial lead in its core business.

This enormous world group couldn’t perceive why Artprice’s reference databases solely quoted costs in the world’s primary fiat currencies, with out the two primary cryptocurrencies (ETH and BTC), which weigh greater than 82% of the 21,000 cryptocurrencies (excluding Stablecoins).
Appreciating the business alternative represented by 450 million potential patrons of Art NFTs, Artprice by Artmarket’s IT, econometric and advertising and marketing groups subsequently moved shortly to reply positively to their demand.
