What Artprice does

Artprice by Artmarket operates the world's most comprehensive art market information database, containing over 35 million auction results, 210 million artwork images, and 911,800+ indexed artists spanning the 4th Century to the present, with data continuously collected from auction houses in over 90 countries. The platform serves 7.2-9.3 million members — including individual collectors, galleries, auction houses, museums, and market press — across a localized interface in six languages. Artprice operates as a department of Artmarket.com, which is controlled by Groupe Serveur and listed on Euronext Paris (ticker: PRC, Euroclear: 7478), making it the only continuously listed company on a regulated market dedicated to global art market information after Sotheby's delisting.

The product portfolio centers on subscription database access, an Artprice Standardized Marketplace (69,000+ artworks, with Bitcoin and Ethereum payment support), auction-house advertising and partner services, and a flagship series of annual and contemporary art market reports now in their 32nd edition. In late 2025-2026 the company extended the platform with two proprietary AI products — Intuitive ArtMarket® for knowledge retrieval and ad targeting, and Blind Spot AI® for continuous news monitoring — and launched Artprice News, a 24/7 global press agency for the art market distributed in 122 countries and 11 languages via partnerships with Cision PR Newswire, X, and Perplexity AI.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring subscriptions to the price/index database, marketplace transaction commissions, auction-house advertising (homepage, artist pages, marketplace banners, sponsored articles), and paid annual art market reports. Q1 2026 unaudited revenue was €4,108K, up 3.63% YoY, with the largest historical numbers coming from a long tail of consumer and prosumer subscribers rather than a few enterprise anchors. GTM combines self-serve product-led acquisition for individual members with inside-sales and direct-sales motions targeting auction houses and galleries, including free data-exchange partnerships that bind data contributors into the platform's distribution flywheel.
