ARTEVIVA Fine Art

What ARTEVIVA Fine Art does

ARTEVIVA Fine Art is a German mail-order and online art dealership founded in 1997 by Dr. Dagmar Gold, a PhD art historian and publicly appointed sworn auctioneer, operating from Dietramszell, Bavaria. The company sells authenticated original artworks (Unikate), original graphics (Original-Grafik), signed giclée prints, limited-edition sculptures, and a complementary Sterling Silver jewelry collection, with price points ranging from approximately €50 to over €6,900 per piece. Its catalog focuses on Classical Modernism, Pop-Art, Surrealism, Abstract Art, and Contemporary Art, featuring museum-represented artists such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Victor Vasarely, and Max Liebermann. Every artwork ships with an authenticity certificate and catalog documentation. Beyond transactional sales, ARTEVIVA offers art consulting services for collectors, value assessments, and a free art search service through an international expert network.

The business operates exclusively through distance-selling channels: its own WordPress-based e-commerce website (arteviva.de), telephone, fax, email, and mail. The primary market is DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with worldwide shipping available via DPD, DHL, or freight forwarders. Distribution is augmented by partnerships with four German publishers (ZEIT-Verlag, Deutscher Ärzte-Verlag, BELTZ-Verlag, Eulenspiegel Verlag) and supported by content marketing through a Journal/blog and email newsletter. The company is classified as a Kleinstunternehmen (micro-enterprise), is exempt from BFSG accessibility requirements, and employs 13 people under the sole proprietorship of Dr. Dagmar Gold.

Revenue is generated through one-time unit-priced transactions on art and jewelry, supplemented by professional services (art consulting). The customer base is fragmented across experienced collectors, novice art investors (Kunstnovizen), and design-conscious consumers seeking original prints under €1,000. No funding rounds, acquisitions, parent company, or institutional investors have been disclosed, and ownership is concentrated entirely in the founder. The technology stack is commodity (WordPress, Google Analytics, PayPal), and there are no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sotheby's: Global incumbent auction house with deep secondary-market exposure to modern and contemporary masters — including the same blue-chip names (Picasso, Chagall, Warhol, Lichtenstein) as ARTEVIVA. Comparable as a competing channel for collector dollars, not as a directly competitive product.
• 1stDibs: Online marketplace for luxury items including original art, antique prints, and decorative objects. Comparable as a high-end e-commerce destination competing for affluent buyers interested in collectible original art.
• Artsy: Online art marketplace aggregating galleries, auction houses, and dealers worldwide. Comparable as a discovery and transaction channel for authenticated secondary-market art, though operating at much larger scale and broader scope than ARTEVIVA.
• Artnet: Online art marketplace with gallery network, auction aggregator, and price-database services. Comparable as a discovery and price-transparency platform that competes for collector attention, particularly via the auction-data reference role ARTEVIVA also provides in its consulting.
• Christie's: Global incumbent auction house serving the same high-end modern and contemporary collector segment as ARTEVIVA. Overlapping demand but very different scale, format (auction vs. fixed-price), and client acquisition model.

Direct peers

• Ketterer Kunst: One of Germany's leading auction houses for modern and contemporary art, based in Munich. Directly comparable as a Germany-based secondary-market dealer for classical modernism and post-war artists overlapping with ARTEVIVA's catalog focus.
• LUMAS Editionsgalerie: Berlin-based online and gallery retailer of signed limited-edition art (including signed giclée prints and original graphics) from contemporary and modern artists. Closely comparable product mix, price-point strategy, and e-commerce-led DACH operating model.
• Villa Grisebach: Berlin-based auction house specializing in modern and contemporary art, including prints and multiples. Comparable as a German secondary-market specialist competing for the same collector base, with deeper institutional reach but heavier cost structure.
• Saatchi Art: Global online art gallery offering original paintings, prints, and sculptures directly from artists and dealers. Comparable as a digitally-native gallery model targeting collectors, though without ARTEVIVA's classical-modernism museum-grade positioning.

Emerging players

• Artmajeur: Online art marketplace selling original paintings, prints, and sculptures with authentication. Comparable as a digitally-native art retailer, though tilted toward emerging artists rather than ARTEVIVA's established-museum-name focus.
