Artmarket.com said second-quarter 2026 internet revenue rose 7% to 1,432 K€ from 1,339 K€ a year earlier, while first-half 2026 total revenue increased 5% to 4,362 K€ from 4,169 K€ in first-half 2025. The company also reported deferred internet revenue variation of (516) in 2026 versus (433) in 2025 and said the figures were unaudited. Alongside the sales update, the group set out an "AI-First" strategy for Artprice, describing a shift from gradual integration of artificial intelligence into legacy databases to a full architectural overhaul built around its proprietary "Intuitive Art Market ©" and "Blind Spot ©" systems. Artmarket.com said the accounting change in revenue recognition since June 30, 2021 did not alter customer contracts, payment methods, or legal and technical subscription terms, and added that the full move to social accounts as of June 30, 2025 followed the absorption of subsidiaries into Artprice by Artmarket and the abandonment of IFRS standards as not suited to Artprice's size. Thierry Ehrmann, founder and CEO of Artmarket.com, said his family and Groupe Serveur, the main shareholder, planned to increase their stake in Artmarket.com through share purchases, with required filings to the AMF (France's financial markets regulator) to be made within legal deadlines and during permitted trading windows. The release framed the company's next phase around internal AI deployment, tougher beta testing, and a later subscriber rollout aimed at turning its art-market databases into a native AI platform for collectors, institutions, and professionals.
