Why join

A record that works as hard as you do.

Qualified inquiries

Collectors reach you directly about specific works — no noise, no middle layer. You agree terms on or off the platform.

Provenance that sells

A verified chain of ownership, shown beside every work. Trust is the product, and it travels with your listings.

Reach beyond your walls

Appear in search, the homepage, curated collections and online viewing rooms — across four languages.

One catalogue, many surfaces

Publish once. Your works flow into exhibitions, fairs, editorial features and the directory automatically.

You stay in control

Set what's published, priced or indexed-only. Confirm representations. Nothing goes public without you.

Deals, tracked

Take an inquiry to a tracked deal — offer, payment, shipping and documents — with optional escrow.

Verification tiers

Earn trust step by step.

You start building immediately. Each tier unlocks more — and every badge is shown to collectors.

Identity, provenance and rights checked by our trust team.

  • Publish works freely
  • Receive collector inquiries
  • Host exhibitions & viewing rooms
  • Verified badge
Tier 3
Sale-enabled

Everything in Verified, plus transact on the platform.

  • Tracked deals end to end
  • Optional escrow payments
  • Promoted placement eligibility
  • Sale-enabled badge

How it works

From application to indexed in four steps.

01
Apply

Tell us about your organisation and the collection you hold.

02
Verify

Submit identity, provenance and rights evidence. Provisional review takes about 5 working days; full Verified status typically takes 5–10.

03
Build

Add your catalogue. Works appear as Provisional, then go live once verified.

04
Reach

Collectors find, follow and inquire. Take the best ones to a tracked deal.

Common questions

What does it cost?
Founding members lock in a preferential rate for the first fifty organisations. Standard pricing applies afterwards; verification review itself is part of membership.
Does claiming or joining grant selling rights?
Verification tiers are what gate selling. Sale-enabled organisations can transact on the platform; Verified organisations can publish and receive inquiries but settle off-platform.
How long does verification take?
Provisional status usually takes about 5 working days once your evidence is complete. Full Verified status typically takes 5–10 working days, and Sale-enabled 10–15 — reference and bank checks are the long pole. You can build your profile and prepare drafts while you wait.
Can we control what's shown?
Yes. You decide what's published, priced, or indexed-only, and you confirm any representation before it appears publicly.
