"The MA Art Business at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, has been using Artfacts for several years.
The non-market rankings provide indicators of cultural value which our students match with market-based ratings, providing them with sophisticated discourses on the relationship between symbolic and financial value systems.
The database is also useful for the quick access it gives to exhibition histories of artists from Botticelli to Banksy, as well as for information on their dealers. The database is truly global, reflecting the multi-cultural demographics of the Institute."

"ArtFacts is an invaluable resource for researching the art market . The ArtFacts data provided a significant contribution to The Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report 2017 by allowing us to dig much more deeply past sales data into the important exhibition histories of a vast international array of artists. The sophisticated database helps explore critical links between exhibitions and the market and has opened up a world of exciting new possibilities for future research."

"[...] a database-enhanced website, promotes itself as a means to quantitatively measure the sustainability, and thus most accurately predict future appreciation, of work produced by more than 300,000 prominent international artists."

"Le Journal des Arts publishes every year since 2012 a well-acclaimed ranking of 3500 French living artists based on highly qualified datas provided par Artfacts.net. The richness and accuracy of the Arttfacts.net information allow us not only to set a reliable ranking but also publish in depth analysis."
