NEW YORK, NY, LONDON UK and BERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2022 / Artnet AG, the leading platform for art market data and media, and the global marketplace for fine art, today published its Half Year Financial Report 2022. As reflected in the Report, Artnet recorded robust growth, with total revenue increasing 8% to 12,9 Million USD. 'Artnet has undergone transformational changes in the first six months of the year.

Harnessing the unique synergies between the Company's Media, Marketplace, and Data segments, Artnet is positioned to capture the nascent shift in purchasing behavior towards online transactions by providing a holistic online ecosystem for the global art market. The Half Year Report includes an exclusive first look at the new Price Database.
The Media segment recorded record breaking growth, with a 72% increase in revenue YoY within the first half of the year.

Luxury Advertising increased by 55% YoY within the first half of 2022, and Artnet News Pro also showed continued growth.
Several key milestones were achieved in the Marketplace segment despite the impact of worsening market conditions, such as a landmark partnership with China's Poly Auction as well as the first 'NFT Drop' on Artnet's ArtNFT site.
Top lots during the first quarter of 2022 include Roy Lichtenstein's Nude with Yellow Pillow (from the Nude series), which realized 425,000 USD including premium, significantly above its high estimate of 300,000 USD; Light artist Dan Flavin's ‘Untitled (to Brad Gillaugh), which hammered down at 275,000 USD including premium; as well as Ed Ruscha's iconic ‘Mocha Standard,' which realized 150,000 USD including premium. In line with Artnet's ESG initiatives, Artnet Auctions hosted 3 sales with philanthropic components during the first half of the year, benefitting Ukraine relief efforts as well as LGBTQ initiatives.
The release of the new Price Database rebuild in Q3 is set to drive growth in the Data segment in the second half of the year.
