Artsy’s mission is to make all the world’s art accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. Artsy is used by art lovers and collectors to discover, learn about, and buy art.
Artsy partners with international galleries, auction houses, art fairs, and museums to create the world’s largest online art marketplace for collecting and discovering art, with more than 1,000,000 works by 100,000 artists. The company charges galleries a fee to upload works on the platform and draws a percentage from the sales.
They're looking to disrupt the global art market, which is worth ~$70bn a year and growing, in the style of Amazon or Spotify. However, despite a flurry of online art startups launching in the past decade, the industry remains dominated by elite auction houses such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s.
Artsy is banking on the emergence of young affluent and digitally-savvy collectors, and there should be plenty of opportunity for them to sell products into this group. Numbers indicate that collectors are becoming more comfortable buying art online: the volume of sales on Artsy grew by up to 150 per cent over the past two years.
