The art market becomes transparent

Artprice owns and exploits the world largest data bank of fine art auction records (covering the categories: paintings, prints-posters, drawings, miniatures, sculptures-installations, photography, tapestry) with 4 million auction entries since 1700.
Through the main website www.artprice.com and 900 other owned web addresses, artprice benefits from a position of world leader, reinforced by an industrial process of information-collecting, exhaustive art market intelligence, data processing and value-adding to almost every art auction from over 2,900 auction houses in 40 countries.

Artprice has bought the main international price-reference works used on the art market, as well as the Swiss company Xylogic (1985)-an IT services specialist in the generation of econometric indices for the art market. It has also recently made a series of strategic acquisitions:

Sound View Press (USA): publishing house of 15 respected reference works on American art, founded in 1975. Publications include Peter Hastings Falk's classic "Who was Who in American Art".

Caplan Monograms and Signatures (USA), world standard reference work, 1976.

A unique archive of reference works covering the art of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, including H. Mireur's seven-volume "Dictionary of Art Sales".

Editions Van Wilder (French publishing house): 12 reference works on the art market, compiled in 1970.

"Argus du Livre de Collection" (France), auction price annual on rare books first published in 1982.

The Bayer (USA) data bank covering art auctions in the English-speaking world from 1700-1913.

Thanks to its expertise in art market data banks and the wide range of information supply media, from books to IT (CD-ROM, Internet, Teletel and RTC), the Artprice group, now organized in nine specialized departments, can offer a unique reference library on the art market.
