Understanding it is another matter.
More circulates, sells and resurfaces than anyone can absorb alone. Artmetria brings structure to looking at it, and to reading what happens to it in the market.

The House
Artmetria is built around a simple observation: looking at art and researching its market are two different acts, done by two different kinds of people, for two different reasons.
Eye is for anyone building a living relationship with art — discovering it, understanding it, coming back to what matters.
Market is for the professionals who research it, compare it and act on it — dealers, advisers, specialists, collectors working with a documented logic.
Both draw on the same underlying discipline: evidence, structured and read carefully, with its uncertainty kept in view.
Two ways of seeing
Eye helps you discover art worth your attention, understand what you're looking at, and follow what interests you — building, over time, a personal relationship with art. A small, well-chosen discovery today. A work encountered somewhere, read carefully rather than guessed at.
Market turns scattered information — about artists, works, lots, sales and transactions — into something a professional can use: a position worth examining and defending.
It helps dealers, advisers and collectors research a case, compare what is comparable, watch what deserves attention, and prepare a decision without losing the sources, the uncertainty, or the reasoning behind it.
Evidence, not certainty.
Eye — the Reading Room
The same anonymous example the Reading Room itself publishes — never a named work, never an attribution.

This free preview highlights a stable central composition and restrained tonal transitions, but evidence remains too limited for deeper historical or market interpretation.
Confidence: low — Only one image and limited metadata were provided.

The Index
Underneath Eye and Market sits the Artmetria Index: works, artists, sales, catalogues and the relationships between them, structured so any comparison or signal can be traced back to what it's built on. It reads the market quantitatively and qualitatively at once — never a single number standing in for judgment.

How those criteria are weighted, and how signals are combined, stays proprietary — the discipline itself does not.

What we know
Verified data from auction, exhibitions, publications and institutions.
What we infer
Connections and patterns revealed by analysis and context.
What remains uncertain
Areas of doubt, gaps and alternative interpretations.
This distinction is not a disclaimer — it is how Artmetria is built. Every reading, in Eye or in Market, keeps documented fact, inference and open uncertainty visibly separate.
Built on evidence. Guided by human judgment.
One house, two ways of seeing
Eye to develop. Market to decide. Artmetria to connect both.
The art of looking
Subscribing brings a considered selection of what Artmetria publishes: new entries in Your Artist of the Day, and notes on exhibitions, artists and the market worth knowing about. Never a daily feed — quality over quantity is how Artmetria works everywhere, including here.
Artmetria opens 1 October 2026. The access list is open now.
