“We take great pride in providing the best global news related to the art market industry such as, auction results, indices covering over 700,000 artists, major events, and museum openings across the five continents,” said Artprice Founder and CEO, Thierry Ehrmann. “Cision’s newswire service exceeds an industry-standard for news dissemination as revealed by our audit; it allows Artprice to reach its market representing roughly 90 million buyers and collectors through reliable and fast distribution, reaching the depths of its audience. In 2019, Artprice and Cision hence give birth to an Art Pressagency on a worldwide scale.”

Cision stood out amongst competitors for partnership due to exceptional customer service and providing a newswire service unique in terms of diffusion and content.

Global distribution was key for Artprice with a specific focus in France, Europe and China — where it is associated with the Chinese leader in the Art Market, its solid institutional partner Artron.net — to solidify its footprint in the international art market. The partnership will expand upon Artprice’s global reach and impact as its Museum Industry, a global program supporting the expansion of museum openings, is now active across five continents.

“Cision’s recent technological investments have reinforced our position as a partner of choice for news distribution,” says Frédéric Dumas, VP of Sales, Cision, France. “We work with the most respected brands and now in our twentieth year of serving Artprice worldwide, we are expanding upon our steadfast commitment to ensuring a relevant audience for Artprice content.”
