Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Foundations 2026 features 1,200 works from 85 galleries across 20 countries.
  • Foundations 2025 drove a 20% e-commerce sales lift for participating galleries.
  • BBC's The Art Game and MOCAD auctions expand Artsy's transaction volume and brand reach.

What critics are saying

  • April 2026 layoffs and Artnet Berlin closure signal brutal integration and editorial weakening.
  • Beowolff controls Artsy after 2025; strategic decisions now depend on one owner.
  • If galleries defect to Instagram, Sotheby's, or direct sales, Artsy's marketplace loses liquidity.

What makes Artsy unique

  • April 2026 Beowolff united Artsy and Artnet into one art-market operating system.
  • Artsy reaches 7 million monthly visitors across 190+ countries, spanning discovery and commerce.
  • Its primary-market marketplace pairs galleries, fairs, and auction houses with personalized buying tools.

Artsy's Foundations 2026 spotlights the next generation of contemporary artists.

Artsy's Foundations 2026 spotlights the next generation of contemporary artists. Artsy has launched the fifth edition of Foundations, its annual online showcase designed to help collectors discover and buy work by emerging artists through leading contemporary galleries around the world. The 2026 edition brings together more than 1,200 works from 85 galleries across 20 countries and nearly 50 cities, creating one of the largest online presentations of emerging contemporary art this summer. Aimed at both first-time buyers and established collectors looking to discover new talent, Foundations places the spotlight on small and mid-sized galleries, offering carefully curated presentations that make navigating the emerging art market more accessible. The 2026 edition builds on the success of last year's showcase, which generated a 20% increase in e-commerce sales for participating galleries. Several artists featured in Foundations 2025 also experienced dramatic increases in collector interest, with enquiries rising by as much as 1,100% month-on-month, reinforcing the platform's growing reputation for identifying artists early in their careers. "Sometimes an artwork stops you before you can explain why. Foundations is built around that moment - making it easy to go from discovering a work to actually making it yours," said Casey Lesser, Artsy's Chief Curator and Director of Editorial and Content. "These are terrific pieces from small and mid-size galleries that are foundational to the art world, and we take the guesswork out of knowing whether a work is priced fairly or high quality. We built this campaign around the idea that every art journey starts with one work. With Foundations, it really is that simple - the hard part is just picking one." Works in the showcase range from $500 to $7,500, spanning painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media. To help collectors navigate the selection, Artsy's curatorial team has also created two dedicated collections - Curators' Picks: Foundations and Foundations: Art Under $1,000 - while the platform's Instagram channel will highlight a different artwork each day throughout the three-week event. All works are available to purchase directly through Artsy. The international line-up includes galleries from London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Seoul, Mexico City, Melbourne and Lagos, among many others. UK participants include Canopy Collections, Chilli Gallery, Cob, Gillian Jason Gallery, NEVEN, The Dot Project, THE TAGLI, Wilder Gallery, Wondering People and Wizard Gallery, reflecting the breadth of London's emerging gallery scene. As the art market continues to evolve, Foundations 2026 positions collecting emerging art as less about investment and more about discovery - connecting a new generation of collectors with artists at the beginning of their careers through the galleries that champion them first.

Artsy and Artnet, leaders of the art world online, join forces to transform the future of the industry.

Artsy and Artnet, leaders of the art world online, join forces to transform the future of the industry. PR Newswire Today at 6:10am PDT The two online art destinations, Artsy and Artnet, will continue to operate as distinct brands and websites - using their strengths in market intelligence, discovery, commerce, and journalism to form a new operating system for the art world online. NEW YORK, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Artsy and Artnet today announced that they have joined forces, bringing together the art world's two most important online destinations under shared ownership and vision. The company will be led by Jeffrey Yin, chief executive officer. Andrew Wolff, founder and CEO of Beowolff Capital, will be Artsy and Artnet's chairman. Both brands will continue to embrace their proven strengths: Artnet as the definitive destination for trusted journalism, transactional data, auctions, and market intelligence; Artsy as the leader in discovering and buying art through personalized recommendations, editorial storytelling, and a seamless collecting experience across web and mobile. Together, Artsy and Artnet attract over 7 million monthly visitors across 190+ countries and reach over 9 million followers across social channels. The move marks the formation of the online art world's most comprehensive art ecosystem and audience to date, creating vast opportunities for art market participants. Together, the brands hold an unmatched trove of both primary- and secondary-market data, opening the door to entirely new art market insights and analysis. Artsy and Artnet will also invest in new tools to help art businesses thrive and spend more time doing what they love most - working with artists and collectors - starting with a focus on small and mid-size galleries. Ultimately, the scale and depth of both businesses puts them in a unique position to help more artists to be seen, more galleries and art businesses to thrive, and more people to discover and buy the art they love. "Artnet was founded to bring transparency to the art world, and Artsy to make discovering and buying art more accessible," said Jeffrey Yin, CEO of Artsy and Artnet. "Together, we have the chance to do something unprecedented - bring together every constituency of the art world, from galleries and auction houses to collectors and institutions, on a connected platform for the first time. That opens up real possibilities: modernizing and building upon the art world's most trusted pricing tools, developing new ways to help galleries operate more effectively, and ultimately helping art businesses build more value for their artists and collectors." Beowolff Capital, founded and led by investor Andrew Wolff, acquired majority control of Artsy and took Artnet private over the past year. This is the realization of a vision to build a new operating system for the art world online. "I have always had a deep love for art and believe it is a space where bold, long-term investment can have lasting and profound impact on the market and on the world," said Andrew Wolff, CEO of Beowolff Capital. "We are at a pivotal moment in which data and technology, including artificial intelligence, are transforming every industry. The art world needs companies that can harness these powerful forces for its benefit. Artnet's depth of market intelligence and trusted reporting is unparalleled, as is Artsy's scale of art discovery and commerce. Bringing them together is about building the foundation for the art world to thrive online, so that buying, selling, and learning about art becomes easier and more accessible than ever." This new milestone is a natural progression of both companies' histories of revolutionizing the online art space. Founded in 1989, Artnet helped define how the art market exists online through the Artnet Price Database, Artnet Auctions, the Artnet Gallery Network, and Artnet News. Founded in 2009, Artsy helped establish a new era of art discovery and collecting online, building a marketplace and app that connect collectors with galleries, auction houses, fairs, and institutions around the world. The founding visions behind both companies - Artnet's commitment to transparency and Artsy's mission to make art accessible - remain the guiding force behind everything the company will build. For now, nothing is changing for partners or users: Both platforms will continue to operate as they do today, and relationships with each remain the same. There will be more exciting new offerings to share in the coming months. About Artsy: Artsy is the world's largest online marketplace for discovering and buying fine art by leading artists.
