About site

ArtAccess is an online project dedicated to the Russian art market. The ArtAccess website is addressed to collectors and professional market participants, primarily galleries, investors and analysts.

The content of the ArtAccess website is based on auction data from 2000 to the present day about the works of Russian artists of the 17th-21st centuries. Information obtained from auctions in the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Russia and Israel allows us to evaluate the dynamics of the cost of works by specific artists, obtain a convincing argument for the prevailing price levels and make decisions based on reliable market information. The most valuable and practical information layer is especially fully presented on the site - sales statistics for 2006-2016. For most works of this period, mandatory technical and price parameters and photographs are published in the system.

ArtAccess contains information about more than 190,000 transactions with the works of Russian artists, including works by representatives of the Russian diaspora. The database contains more than 10,000 artists - both masters of the first magnitude and authors little known to the public - whose life and work (even in certain periods) were associated with Russia. For more than 190,000 works that have participated in the auction since 2000, detailed technical parameters, estimate and sale price are given if such information was published by the organizer of the auction, and the lot found its buyer. Many of the artists included in the database have original biographies.

ArtAccess publishes regular reviews of art market developments and practical advice to investors. Separately prepared a block of information materials addressed to novice investors, with an explanation of the basics of compiling an investment collection and advice on how to choose the direction of investment and avoid pitfalls in the art market. A feature of the ArtAccess information feed is the publication of its own price forecasts for the main upcoming "Russian auctions". About two weeks before the start of the auction, ArtAccess experts publish a professional opinion on the prospects of certain significant lots with their own price estimate, supported by analytical justification.

The expert council of the ArtAccess site forms an opinion that forms the basis for assigning complex indicators of investment risk for individual works. Corresponding marks - indicators of investment risk - accompany the lots of both past and upcoming auctions. This allows collectors and investors to reduce risk when making decisions.

The Expert Council includes not only art experts, but also gallery owners and collectors who are highly competent in their fields.

The ArtAccess database receives regular daily updates. The site system keeps track of information about upcoming auctions with the participation of works by Russian artists, and after the auction enters data on the results of the auction into the database. Developed search algorithms of the system make it possible to scan not only the specialized "Russian auctions" of large houses, but also most of the auctions of small and medium-sized auctions, where the works of Russian artists appear. All this allows us to call ArtAccess an indispensable practical tool for market professionals, as well as for a wide range of users who need objective price information on the art market.
