We’ve just released a significant upgrade across Artsignal. Here’s what it means for you.
With our new dynamic object records, the research you build on a work today doesn't go stale. Reports still exist, but they're now one feature inside a system that's doing considerably more.
Beyond fine art.
Artsignal is expanding to cover jewelry, watches, wine and spirits, furniture, decorative arts, and more. The same intelligence, wherever your work takes you.
The same market intelligence, across every category.
An object record that keeps itself current.
Upload a photo and basic information. Artsignal builds the full record: description, artist biography, notable events, market context. Every object you catalogue gets its own dynamic page, one that stays current as the market moves. Comparables update automatically as new auction results come in, so when the market shifts around a work, you see it. Analytics track live performance daily by medium, period, and price band. When you need even deeper context or the narrative behind the numbers, run a full report.
Three types of reports.
Not every conversation requires the same intelligence. Artsignal generates three distinct report types, each calibrated to a specific use case.
Commercial
Built for pricing, acquisition, and placement decisions. When a client or colleague asks whether now is the right time to sell, this is the report that gives you a defensible answer. Market outlook, comparable performance, strengths, and risk factors, written clearly enough to share directly with a client or bring into an internal meeting.
Promotional
Written for fairs, campaigns, and collector meetings. Builds the sale narrative around cultural significance, institutional momentum, and collector appeal, giving you the language to tell the story of a work, not just cite its numbers. When you need to move a serious buyer from interest to commitment, this report frames why this object, at this moment, matters.
Market Performance
For due diligence and strategic preparation. Before advising an exhibition, submitting an appraisal, or before testing an assumption about pricing, this report gives you the full picture. Sale volumes, sell-through rates, estimate performance, market distribution, and the written context that explains what the data actually means.
Each report is written for the conversation it needs to support. Editable, shareable, and comparable over time.
All works versus prints and multiples. Four years of Diebenkorn data, broken down by medium.
One object or an entire collection.
Tag objects by client, collection, or consignment. Our new portfolio view gives you the full picture: Total estimated value. The distribution of that value across creators, categories, and periods. The works that dominate the portfolio, and the concentration risk that comes with them. Useful for collateral conversations, estate planning, or keeping track of what's in play across a busy book of business.
Eight objects. Total estimated value $59.4M. One work accounting for 52% of the portfolio.
You know the story. Now see the market.
Artsignal surfaces what the market actually shows: analytics to reveal successes and areas where demand has limits. Not just the headline numbers. The full picture. Including the moments where even the most recognized names didn't find a buyer.
For galleries and dealers, it's the intelligence that informs pricing and placement. For advisors, it's the evidence base that directs a client to the right house, at the right moment, in the right market. For institutions and lenders, it's the risk context that sits behind every valuation. For auction houses, it’s the data that helps calibrate estimates, assess consignments, build stronger proposals, and evaluate every lot regardless of value.
Total sales by select auction houses and geographies, estimate performance across 1,700 lots. Yoshitomo Nara, 2017 to 2026.
