The art world is undergoing a significant transformation with the integration of investment technology, enabling new business models, increased transparency, and unprecedented accessibility. According to a report by Art Market Monitor, the global art market reached $67.4 billion in 2020, with online sales accounting for 25% of the total market share. Companies like Artsy and Artnet are leveraging AI-powered recommendation engines to connect buyers with art pieces, while blockchain-based platforms such as Maecenas and RARE are creating digital marketplaces for art investment.
