Frequently Asked Questions

Auction House Partnerships is a service for auction houses to promote sales and gain exposure from artnet's global community. As a partner, you receive a member site that showcases your auctions and drives traffic between artnet and your online catalogue.

Partnerships consist of complete or partial sales listed on artnet directing traffic to your own online catalogue. You also receive reporting after each sale detailing pageviews, click-throughs, artists searched, and the top 10 lots, which can be used to tailor future auctions to the current market and target areas for promotion and growth.

Partnerships are promoted across various artnet products and platforms. Lots are included in our daily Market Alerts subscription emails, which are sent to users looking to acquire work by a specific artist or collecting category. Your lots are also listed prominently in artnet's search and artist homepages, which are the most trafficked pages on artnet.

artnet attracts an international audience of collectors, dealers, and art professionals. Our 31 million annual users are educated, affluent, and regularly purchase art online. All Auction House Partnerships sales and lots are seamlessly integrated across artnet's platform and are featured on various pages across the site.

Partnership lots are featured across several artnet products and platforms. Your lots will be accessible through:

  • Your customized auction house member site
  • Each artist homepage of every artist in your sale
  • Our Events page
  • Prioritized ranking in artnet's internal search
  • The Price Database, the most comprehensive archive of art auction records in the world
  • Market Alerts, our email subscription service notifying users when works by their favorite artists hit the market

Partners may also be featured in posts on artnet's social media platforms, which have a combined audience of over 2.8 million.

Traffic from every partnership lot is directed back to the same lot in your own online catalogue, where buyers can use your auction house's platform for online bidding.

Partners receive reporting after each sale detailing pageviews, click-throughs, artists searched, and top 10 lots, which allow you to tailor future sales to the current market.

Yes, you may publish all lots that meet our criteria as outlined below.

All fine art lots must have the following minimum estimates:

  • 500 USD: paintings, works on paper, photographs, prints, sculpture, and other media by a known artist
  • 2,000 USD: works made after or in the style of an artist, or by artists known only by their initials, nationality, or period

All decorative art lots must have the following minimum estimates:

  • 500 USD: furniture, silver, porcelain, ceramics, glass, rugs, carpets, clocks, books, jewelry, watches, and other decorative art objects

There are several ways to publish your auction results on artnet, and we strongly encourage all partners to do so. Sharing this information acts as added exposure and permanent visibility for your auction house in the Price Database, the most comprehensive record of auction results in the world.

Once you join, a member from our team will reach out prior to the start of your sale to help you post your lot information. They will also be in touch once the sale has closed to post your auction results.

Partnership lots are featured across the following artnet products and platforms for up to 30 days before and after the sale. After the 30-day period, lots with sale results will remain visible in the Price Database.

  • Your customized auction house member site
  • Each artist homepage of every artist in your sale
  • Our Events page
  • Prioritized ranking in artnet's internal search
  • The Price Database, the most comprehensive archive of art auction records in the world
  • Market Alerts, our email subscription service notifying users when works by their favorite artists hit the market
