Artsignal, the AI-assisted service built for auction houses and collectors, is a first-of-its-kind research tool helping art professionals gather market-level insights.<\/p>\n

Eighteenth-century landscape paintings aren\u2019t currently in vogue in the art world. Nonetheless, enticed by their beauty and investment potential, some have been building collections of these pieces. Sam Glatman, the co-founder of Artsignal, has an eye for such under-appreciated works. <\/p>\n

Artsignal is an AI-assisted research tool, built to support the work of professionals in the sector by generating reports on any work. \u201cAt a minimum, we require an image and the name of the artist,\u201d Glatman tells Monocle over coffee in London. All available information (such as the size of the work or its date) is then combined with relevant material sourced online \u2013 the kind that you might find using a tool such as ChatGPT \u2013 and from a database that includes details about auction sales, exhibitions and more. <\/p>\n

The result is a summary that can help auction houses, for example, to decide how much to lend against an artwork or to assess an object\u2019s potential investment trajectory. According to Glatman, Artsignal\u2019s specific method of using the image as a starting point and employing the latest technology to amass extra data makes his service the first in the art world that \u201creally looks at an work in its entirety and makes a judgement on what makes it an interesting or a harder proposition for a potential buyer\u201d. <\/p>\n

This has made Artsignal popular among auction houses, galleries and art lenders \u2013 and has garnered investment from Christie\u2019s Ventures, part of the revered auctioneer. Though the business currently works with only a few individuals with large collections, Glatman hopes to widen its reach to less established collectors. \u201cIf you\u2019re a young person getting into collecting, you might not be able to afford an art adviser,\u201d he says. \u201cBut you should still be able to make informed decisions.\u201d <\/p>\n

The entry of AI into the art business<\/a> is understandably a concern for many but Glatman envisages Artsignal as working alongside experts in the sector, rather than against them. \u201cWe want to be a tool that art advisers use to give a better service and grow their businesses,\u201d he says. \u201cWe would like to be a friend of these market players, not their replacement.\u201d

Comment
Used smartly, AI doesn\u2019t have to be an enemy to human know-how. Artsignal is proof that using technology to interpret large data sets can support, rather than replace advisers. After all, art can\u2019t be judged by a robot. Leave that to the professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artsignal, the AI-assisted service built for auction houses and collectors, is a first-of-its-kind research tool helping art professionals…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[345,787,799,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-463511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ai","tag-art","tag-art-collecting","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
