What does the fine art dataset cover?

2.8 million auction records from 340+ auction houses worldwide, 1952 to today. It is a cleared-price record: what fine art actually sold for, not what sellers were asking.

Are these asking prices or realized results?

Realized results. Every figure is the hammer price plus buyer’s premium, converted to USD at the transaction date. No estimates, no list prices.

How current is the data?

Updated daily. New results flow in from 340+ auction houses as their sales close.

Start free with the interactive dashboards and Price Check. Create an account and you are in the data in about a minute.

Can I license the raw fine art data?

Yes. Transaction-level data is available via REST API, BigQuery, or bulk export, with custom date ranges and dedicated onboarding. Book a call and we will scope it with you.
