MutualArt.com is an art information website that provides auction prices, personalized updates and data on a number of artists.[1] MutualArt.com also includes an online art appraisals service.[2] Premium Members have access to the site's Art Market Analysis.[3]
MutualArt was founded in 2004 by Moti Shniberg, an Israeli-born technology entrepreneur; David A. Ross, a former director of the Whitney Museum; and Dan Galai, a professor of business at Hebrew University.[1][4][5]
MutualArt acted initially as a holding company for the Artist Pension Trust.[6][7][8] The company's CEO is Zohar Elhanani.[9]
In 2008 MutualArt launched its online portal, mutualart.com.[10][11] At the time, its web site was reportedly one of the first examples of the Web 2.0 Semantic Web applied to a customer service.[12] The site attempted to link art collectors with artists, museums, galleries and information sources including the art publications, auction house information and prices.[12]
In 2016 the company merged with the Artist Pension Trust[13][14] to form the MutualArt Group.[15][16]
