What is MutualArt?

MutualArt is a revolutionary online art information service, launched after years of extensive research and development. We are dedicated to empowering our members - over two million art enthusiasts, collectors and professionals - by providing more art information than has ever been available before, together with tools to customize that information, using our proprietary semantic web technologies.

How extensive is your archive?

Our archive contains complete auction results and artwork information such as provenance, condition, literature, exhibited history and more. We are the only market source to cover exhibitions worldwide as well as articles and news to provide deep insight and a solid background on every artist.

How does MutualArt source data?

Unlike other providers, MutualArt combines automatic data aggregation with a thorough manual review process, ensuring the information on our site is accurate and from a verified source. We are not a listings service and do not take payment for entries on our site, which allows us to retain objectivity. MutualArt selects its data sources manually, before collecting data via an automatic process. This data is then reviewed by a human moderator, who verifies its accuracy prior to publication.

Who can I contact regarding your data?

Should you have a question about our data, or find any inaccuracies, please get in touch withsupport@mutualart.com. MutualArt makes every effort to ensure the data on our site is accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive.
