Vision
“To increase trust in the art world to expand its commercial boundaries”
We see a better way of working and collaborating for all participants in the global art market arising from the provision of verifiable data, indelibly linked to individual artworks.
Improving connectivity and increasing certainty in transactions will ultimately reduce the costs and risks of owning, buying and selling art, and open up new opportunities for commercial growth.
2016-2019
The Artclear concept developed when founders Charlotte and Angus met at Euroclear.
