How it works

From a one-line brief to a finished report in three steps.

Tell us the brief

An artist and a period is enough — “Marc Chagall, 2015–2016”. Or go broader: a movement, a medium, a single landmark sale, a record you want explained.

We do the digging

Our experts query more than 5 million auction results and research the wider market — prices, sell-through, estimate performance, top lots, and the story behind the numbers.

Questions, answered

What can a report cover?

Anything the auction market touches: a single artist over any period, a movement or school, a medium (say, Picasso ceramics), one landmark auction, a price record, or a comparison between artists. If you can phrase it in a sentence, we can scope it.

Where does the data come from?

Database-backed reports draw on our proprietary collection of more than 5 million auction results across leading international houses. Global Research Editions are compiled by CollectWisely experts from public auction results, press coverage and industry reports — with every source cited in the report.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on scope — a single-artist snapshot costs less than a multi-artist or multi-decade study. Email us your brief and we'll quote within one business day, before any commitment.

Can I share the report?

Yes. Your commissioned report is yours — share it with clients, insurers, family offices or advisors. We only ask that it isn't resold as a standalone product.
