All you should know

All you should know

Trustinarts (TiA) has been founded to overcome the fundamental issue of the art market:  a lack of trust. Due to fraudulent transactions, often poor transparency or deficient business standards, the art market lags behind its true potential.

With the Trustinarts certification and verification services, all market participants will profit greatly:

  • art-seller from significantly improved conversion rates, 
  • buyer from more transparent and trustworthy deals, 
  • financial institutions from new business opportunities and cost-cutting
  • and artists will enter the driver seat – building relationships with collectors and participating in the increase of value of their art.

Our believes

Our believes

  • We believe that the beauty of art is highly underrated. And this is true for both, the social as well as the economical role, art could play.
  • We believe that the way of trading art should be far more efficient, trustworthy and transparent.
  • We believe that technology will be an enabler. Digitization of the art market has already started. But the best is yet to come.
  • We believe that all market participants will greatly profit from this development, first and foremost artists and artist estates.
  • We believe that, with fractional ownership models (tokenization) and a new digital native generation of investors, art will become an even more attractive capital asset.
