How to value a work of art online — ArtValue walkthrough — 31 s
What the video shows
Upload a photo
A phone photo is enough. Framing matters more than equipment: the more of the frame the artwork fills, the more reliable the reading.
The AI reads the work
Style, medium, dimensions, signature, condition — the same criteria a professional looks at first when a piece is put in front of them.
A range, not a number
The valuation comes out as three figures — low, recommended, high — with a confidence score showing how well documented the market is for that work.
By sales channel
The same object is not worth the same in a gallery, in a direct sale, online or at auction. A range is given for each of those channels.
What the valuation does not do
ArtValue does not replace an official appraisal. It gives an indicative, non-binding read of the market, useful for deciding whether it is worth going further. When a work is unsigned or its artist has no auction record, the confidence score drops — which is exactly its job: flagging that the market lacks references rather than inventing a price.
Frequently asked questions
Is the valuation free?
The first valuation is free, with no mandatory sign-up. After that a single valuation costs €2.99, and the Pro plan at €19.99 per month includes 15 monthly valuations with a PDF report and history.
Do I need a professional-quality photo?
No. A sharp phone photo is enough. What matters is framing the artwork alone, with even lighting and no glare on the glass or varnish.
How does this compare with a human expert?
It is a first read of the market, indicative only. For an estate, an insurance file or a significant sale, it helps prepare the case and set expectations, but it does not replace a qualified appraiser.
