Artnet and Artsy Announce They’re ‘Joining Forces’ Under Shared Leadership

Artnet and Artsy have announced a strategic merger under a single leadership structure following their acquisition by Beowolff Capital. While both platforms will maintain their distinct brand identities and websites, they will now operate as a combined organization led by Artsy CEO Jeffrey Yin, with Beowolff Capital founder Andrew Wolff serving as chairman. The move aims to integrate Artnet’s industry-leading price database and journalism with Artsy’s expansive e-commerce and discovery marketplace.

This consolidation represents a major shift in the digital art market, uniting two of the industry's most influential tech platforms. By combining Artnet’s data-driven transparency with Artsy’s transactional scale, the new entity seeks to leverage artificial intelligence and modernized pricing tools to streamline how collectors and galleries interact online. The merger signals a period of institutional professionalization and technological investment intended to stabilize and grow the online art trade.
