WHO WE ARE

We've spent years in the art world.
This is what we kept hearing.

"I have this artwork. I have no idea what it's worth. I don't know where to find out. Can you help me?"

THE OBSERVATION

"Art owners want to know what their artwork is worth more than they have a need to buy. 
ArtIQ™ fills that need."

After years working with artists, collectors, and estates, this pattern never changed. And it makes sense — wanting to know what something is worth is just a question. It costs nothing. Buying or selling involves commitment, risk, and real money out of pocket. The pool of art owners who simply want to know is enormous. We built ArtIQ™ for them.

THE GAP

"Art owners have limited information and no path to assess value."

Not indifference. Not reluctance. A genuine gap between what art owners need to know and what's available to them. For most, a certified appraisal is more than the situation calls for — they don't need a legal document, they need a real answer. Search engines can find information but can't assess it, weight it, or apply real-world market experience to it. What comes back is data without judgment — which in valuation is worth very little. Most art owners live with the uncertainty — sometimes for decades.

NO AGENDA

"We built ArtIQ™ around the one thing most options can't offer: no agenda."

We're not buying your artwork. We're not selling it. We have no auction house to feed and no consignment agenda. We take the data, apply what we know about art and the market, and deliver reality — not a number shaped by what someone else wants from your artwork. That includes galleries, auction houses, and private dealers — all relationships we respect and work alongside, not against.

ArtIQ™ doesn't stand alone.

It's the foundation that makes every art relationship stronger — whether
that's a gallery, an auction house, a private sale, or simply knowing what you own.

"We have no agenda. We take the data, apply what we know, and deliver reality."
— Peter Moos, ArtIQ™

WHAT WE BRING
Decades of real art world experience
Comparable sales and market data
Artist biography and context
A commitment to reality over convenience

WHAT WE LEAVE OUT
A piece to sell you
A consignment agenda
An auction house to feed
Any reason to tell you anything but reality

Your art is an asset that has a story.
Some owners know it. Almost none know the artwork's value.
ArtIQ™ transforms both into a defensible asset.
