Artnet Outlines key Strategic Goals for 2023 amid Strong Start to the Year.

New York/Berlin, March 2, 2023: Artnet AG, the leading platform for art market data and media, and the global online marketplace for fine art is excited to announce its core strategic initiatives for 2023 amid a strong start to the year.

2022 was a challenging year for people and businesses across the world. Despite this, Artnet ended the year 2022 having successfully executed on major operational changes and technology developments.

In 2022, despite a challenging macro-environment, Artnet has grown and executed on key strategic plans. Three factors contributed to our strength: the resilience of the art and luxury markets, the robustness of our diversified business model, and the expertise and hard work of our teams around the world, said Artnet CEO Jacob Pabst.

The 2023 financial year has started strong. Artnets Marketplace segment has carried its momentum from the fourth quarter forward, with Artnet Auctions recording its strongest January Prints & Multiples sale to date. Among the top lots thus far were Andy Warhols Flash, which realized $137,000 as well as KAWSs No one home stay steady, the things that comfort, which realized $87,000. Upcoming auctions include the 20th Century Art sale, live March 8-23, and the Contemporary Art sale, March 15-29, 2023.

Looking ahead, management has identified a set of strategic goals for 2023. Firstly, the Company  will look to achieve sustainable growth with a focus on margin. Management will continue the operational transformation with the aim of gaining efficiencies, ensuring the Companys financial strength and stability. In 2023 Artnet will continue on its drive towards unification, leveraging its data and media arms to create a marketplace with trust and transparency at its core. This will include a rebuild of the front-end platform to deliver an optimal user experience.

Artnet also continued pursuing strong commitments to sustainability as a member of Deutsche Börses important ESG Visibility Hub. We are also proud to share that our Berlin team has taken the initiative of making part of our offices available for a residency program, providing space for creatives to work, with a focus on people who have fled the conflict in Ukraine.
