For those who are not aware, artprice is one of the largest art databases on the Internet.

Indeed, artprice has two databases:

• a database of artists, and
• an auction catalogue database (290,000 catalogues), can be searched.

All that is needed to search the databases is the artist’s name and surname, which, of course you will be able to find on Italy is in .

Registration with artprice only becomes necessary if you find something you wish to look at in more detail. Registration is free, although those more seriously into collecting or investing in art, may wish to take out one of artprice’s subscription plans .

artprice is very useful for discovering how well established an artist is, in that the service can provide information about individuals, their work, and for how much examples of their work are selling.

Should an artist listed on Italy is in not be found lurking within artprice’s huge databases, then this is not necessarily a bad sign. Indeed, quite the opposite, in that Italy is in is living up to its raison d’etre, which is to help people discover artists and their work.

If you happen to be someone who has searched for an artist featured on Italy is in within artprice because the works of an artist on this site have piqued your curiosity, then congratulations! You too have come across an artist who is not yet well known at an international level, and the fact that you searched means that you considered that this artist could be within artprice’s databases, and if the artist is not, then your search indicates that most probably the artist concerned deserves to be.

Another advantage of not finding an artist within artprice is that his or her work may be purchased for commissioned for a more reasonable price.

However, should this site help artists find their way into artprice, then this will be good for the artist, who will be then be encouraged to produce more, and thus increase their contribution to the art world in general.

Popularity arising from this site may also help sway the opinions of art critics, both outside and within Italy. Again, this can be beneficial to the artist concerned.

If enough people like and acquire the works of a particular artist, then the standing of the artist will increase.

This is what Italy is in ’s aim is – to encourage people to discover artists, spread the word, and develop interest, and in doing so, encourage artistic endeavour.

If you help us to achieve this aim, then thank you!
