ArtFacts.Net

ArtFacts.Net is a privately owned, London and Berlin-based guide to modern and contemporary art.[1] The website was founded in 2001 and since 2004, displays an Artist Ranking that serves as a main reference for the art industry worldwide.

The ArtFacts.Net Platform provides free and subscription based services including an extensive searchable database, artist rankings, comprehensive exhibition information and access to tailored analytics. The database is the largest of its kind, listing works produced by more than 500,000 prominent international artists and 500 commercial galleries and art institutions.

Artist ranking

A key component of the ArtFacts.Net net service is the artist ranking. ArtFacts.Net considers an artists biography to be the most important factor in determining value within the contemporary art world. Therefore an ArtFacts.Net ranking is a based on exhibition data, not auction results.

The data in the ArtFacts network is sourced through the international art community (artists, galleries, museums and collectors). Based on this information, a dynamic points system is used to generate a ranking that indicates the reputation of the artist. The calculation factors in exhibition history, type of exhibition (e.g. group or solo), standing of the exhibitor and also the reputation of associated artists. By effectively visualising the artists career path, the rank serves as a tool to monitor the progress of hundreds of thousands of contemporary artists.

Exhibition database

The ArtFacts.Net database includes historical exhibition information dating back to the birthplace of the modern art market (the Salon des Refusés, Paris, 1863), as well as current entries for artists, galleries and art institutions worldwide.

The resource contains reviewed information about artists and their exhibitors; including works, ranking, history, representation, collaborations and images. Individual exhibitions, galleries, museums and art institutions are also searchable by name and location.
