For Auction Houses
AI-powered cataloguing that identifies, describes, prices, and contextualizes lots in seconds — not hours. Process more lots with the same team. Grow throughput without growing headcount. Pre-sale estimates backed by 10M+ auction records, with market intelligence for every specialist.
Whether you're processing 5,000 or 50,000 lots per year, the bottleneck is the same: research, pricing, and context for every lot, done manually. LiveArt automates the research layer — so your specialists focus on judgment, not data entry.
LiveArt doesn't just catalogue — it catalogues and values, compares, and contextualizes every lot, because the AI sits on top of 10M+ auction records that no image-recognition tool can access. Our AI methodology is published — transparent, defensible, and scrutinizable by your specialist team.

Across the Workflow
Consignment & Intake
When a consignor brings a work, get an instant LAE valuation, 8–10 ranked comparables, and artist market context — before the specialist even opens a database. Faster intake, more informed consignment decisions.
AI-Assisted Cataloguing
Upload an image. LiveArt identifies the work, generates a structured lot description, pulls in the artist bio, materials, dimensions, and provenance indicators — then adds the LAE estimate and top comparables. One step, complete catalogue entry.
Pre-Sale Estimates
AI-generated estimate ranges backed by 10M+ records, with confidence intervals and methodology transparency. Specialists review and adjust — the AI gives them a running start, not a final answer.
Live Sale Intelligence
Real-time price overlay during auctions. As each lot sells, instant context — above or below estimate, comparable results, artist momentum — visible to specialists and online viewers.
Post-Sale Analytics
Sell-through rates, price distribution, buy-in analysis, artist-by-artist performance — structured analytics that help specialists prepare for the next season.
Specialist Market Research
AI Advisor interface where specialists can query the market naturally: "show me comparable sales for Richter squeegee paintings over 100cm in the last 3 years." Data-backed answers in seconds.
The LiveArt Advantage
LiveArt's cataloguing doesn't stop at generating a lot description. Every identified work comes with an AI valuation backed by 10M+ records, ranked comparable sales, artist market analytics, and a risk assessment — the complete intelligence package that turns a catalogue entry into an informed consignment decision.
10M+ Records
Every valuation backed by the largest structured auction dataset in the market. From 1986 to today, across 1,400+ auction houses.
Per-Artwork AI Valuation
LiveArt Estimate™ on every identified work — min, mid, max with confidence intervals. Not an artist average. An estimate for this specific lot.
Specialist-Ready Output
Structured for your workflow. Description, valuation, comparables, and market context formatted for direct use in your cataloguing system.
