Want to reach these readers? Sponsor an issue.

Snap a photo of a painting, print, sculpture or antique. ArtValue identifies it (technique, signature, condition), finds comparable sales from auction houses and returns an indicative value range with a confidence score in about a minute. What makes it different: it refuses to guess. If it can't identify the piece, it gives no number. Works in 7 languages. First valuation free, then from €2. Indicative only, not a certified appraisal.

Could you build this?

Partial While an AI vision wrapper can identify famous paintings, accurate antique appraisal requires licensed access to proprietary auction sales databases (like Artnet or Invaluable) and provenance verification.

What it would actually take: A production version requires an ingestion pipeline scraping or licensing structured historical auction records, coupled with specialized visual search embeddings (fine-tuned on maker marks, signatures, and antique styles). The backend needs a valuation model that matches comps while factoring in condition and date, rather than relying on LLM hallucinations.
