Paris, France — August 7, 2025:
Artprice by Artmarket.com has announced robust double‑digit growth in Q2 2025, underpinned by a sharpened focus on artificial intelligence and a landmark partnership with Perplexity.ai—the first step in its bold mixed‑subscription model launching mid‑2025.
Under the leadership of founder Thierry Ehrmann, Artprice has integrated its proprietary Intuitive Artmarket AI with Perplexity’s real‑time search and generative capabilities. This hybrid offering is aimed squarely at art historians, museum curators, researchers, and collectors seeking cutting‑edge market intelligence.
With exclusive ownership of five core AI pillars—Big Data, Deep Learning, Data Mining, proprietary algorithms and normalized information flows—Artprice claims full copyrights and neighboring rights over its entire infrastructure. Its data assets include over 30 million auction records, information on nearly 880,000 artists, and 181 million images—the world’s most comprehensive art market repository.
By integrating Perplexity’s premium subscriptions—Professional and Max—Artprice anticipates scaling its unique global data volume by up to 30× without significantly increasing payroll or operating costs. Analysts predict annual market expansion in art‑AI to rise from $212 million in 2022 to $5.8 billion by 2032—creating fertile ground for this premium cross‑valuation strategy.
Perplexity’s AI platform stands out for its near‑zero error rates and systematic citation of official sources with URLs—features aligned with high academic and professional standards that Artprice clientele demand.
Official analysis by Perplexity describes the alliance as “revolutionary,” noting the mixture of prompt engineering and context engineering as a philosophical pivot in how AI supports cultural knowledge systems.
Under France’s aim to establish itself as the world’s third AI power after the US and China, Artprice’s roadmap to 2029 positions its AI-led ecosystem—Intuitive Artmarket and Blind Spot AI—at the heart of this national ambition.
Benefit to clients extends beyond analytics: museums and cultural institutions can optimize visitor engagement and curation through personalized recommendations powered by this integrated AI architecture.
With a global subscriber base of 9.3 million, even a small conversion rate to the mixed subscription model could generate over $47 million in annual incremental revenue for Artprice—transforming its ecosystem into an unprecedented economic and educational engine.
Artprice’s move exemplifies how specialized knowledge firms can elevate their historical and documentary archives through generative AI, educational support in prompt and context engineering, and a deeper philosophical approach to intelligence in cultural domains.
This bold strategy not only reinforces Artprice’s leadership in data-rich art‑market analytics but also signals a new era of cultural‐tech synergy—where AI enhances, rather than replaces, human insight.
