We're thrilled to announce the continuation of our research partnership with Sotheby's Institute of Art London for a second consecutive year. This collaboration bridges centuries of art market expertise with cutting-edge data analytics, supporting the next generation of art business leaders.
As part of this year's partnership, our founder Sharon Obuobi returned to her alma mater to deliver a guest lecture to MA Art Business students in London. Drawing from her experience at both Sotheby's Auctions and the Institute, Sharon shared insights on how data innovation is reshaping the art market landscape.
The partnership gives students in the MA Art Business program access to Alt/Finance's specialized art market research resources, equipping them with tools to understand the increasingly complex dynamics of the global art economy. Our datasets, dashboards, and analytics platforms offer students unprecedented visibility into both public and private art market transactions, complementing the Institute's renowned hands-on approach to art business education.
"Returning to Sotheby's Institute as both an alumna and industry partner feels like coming full circle," says Sharon Obuobi. "The Institute's commitment to combining historical expertise with business innovation perfectly aligns with Alt/Finance's mission to bring greater transparency and sophistication to art market analysis."
This collaboration builds upon Sotheby's Institute's 279-year legacy of art market leadership while embracing the technological advances transforming the industry. As the global art market continues to evolve, we're proud to help equip the next generation of art business professionals with the data-driven insights they need to succeed.
We look forward to continuing this valuable partnership and supporting the Institute's mission of fostering business acumen and innovation in the art world.
