The problem

The art market still operates through fragmented and informal information channels.

Artworks are managed across emails, messaging apps, spreadsheets and disconnected PDFs. Provenance documents are dispersed, valuation criteria are subjective, and negotiation history is rarely structured or auditable.

This fragmentation increases transactional risk, prolongs deal cycles and undermines trust between curators, galleries and collectors.

Risk
Dispersed documents, missing links, unclear provenance.
Time
Deals slowed by manual diligence and back-and-forth.
Subjectivity
Valuation rationale is often implicit and non-transferable.
Trust
Stakeholders lack a shared, controlled view of facts.
CURATORIA addresses these frictions by converting art objects into structured decision entities.

Our hypothesis

Structured information leads to better decisions.

CURATORIA is based on the hypothesis that organizing provenance, valuation and negotiation data within a unified system reduces friction, improves transparency and enhances decision quality in art trading.

The platform is intentionally designed as both a functional product and a research artifact, enabling empirical observation of decision-making patterns in the art market.

Research artifact
  • Dataset built from artwork records and provenance attributes
  • Negotiation events modeled as structured transactions
  • Metrics: liquidity, discount, duration, conversion

The solution

A digital twin for each artwork.

CURATORIA transforms each artwork into a structured digital asset, combining historical, financial and transactional perspectives.

Provenance & Risk Valuation Negotiation Pipeline Controlled Access
Provenance & Risk
Timelines, documents, completeness indicators.
Valuation
Comparables, rationale, value evolution.
Negotiation Pipeline
Offers, counteroffers, diligence, outcomes.
Controlled Access
Role-based visibility per artwork and portfolio.

Who it is for

Curators & Art Traders
Portfolio visibility, decision support and structured negotiation control.
Galleries
Consignment tracking, documentation management and deal transparency.
Collectors
Secure access to selected artworks and contextual decision information.

Research-driven by design

CURATORIA is accompanied by an original dataset built from artwork records, provenance attributes and simulated negotiation flows.

The platform supports applied research on provenance risk, liquidity, pricing dispersion and negotiation outcomes, positioning CURATORIA at the intersection of technology, art markets and decision science.

Example study angles
  • Provenance completeness vs. negotiation duration
  • Risk category vs. discount behavior
  • Valuation accuracy using comparable-based rules
  • Conversion rates across pipeline stages

Project status

CURATORIA is currently a functional prototype developed within an academic context. The project is open to early-stage validation with galleries and collectors interested in participating in pilot rounds and research feedback cycles.
