The Platform

Closing the gap between art and people.

Art Trackers™ is a platform that closes the gap between artists and collectors by tracking the movement and history of artwork — keeping artists, institutions, and collectors connected to the artwork and each other.

Every work gets a unique AT-ID, a hidden security code, and an NFC tag that connects the physical object to its full digital record. Anyone with authorization can scan, verify, and update — from city hall to the gallery wall.

Core Features

Catalog. Inventory. Verify.

Track artwork details, provenance, value, and location — all in one secure, searchable system.

01
Unique Art IDs

Every artwork receives a permanent AT-00000001 identifier. It never changes, even as the artwork moves or changes hands.

02
Hidden Security Codes

A secondary randomized ID lives behind the scenes — your anti-fraud layer for high-stakes verification, visible only to authorized admins.

03
NFC Tag Integration

NTAG213 chips linked to every AT-ID connect physical artwork to its digital record. Tap to verify with any smartphone — no app required.

04
Location Tracking

Track every piece by city, site, floor, and room. Update records when art moves, with the full history always preserved.

05
Provenance & Ownership

Document the full chain of custody: who created it, who owns it, who transferred it, and when. The permanent record art has always needed.

06
Compliance Ready

Built for government agencies. Supports public art audits, ordinance compliance, and cultural asset reporting requirements.

Who It's For

One platform. Three stakeholders.

Artists, collectors, and governments — all connected through one verifiable record.

Your public art. Accounted for.

Cities, counties, and state agencies manage thousands of public art assets with no centralized system and no way to meet audit requirements. Art Trackers changes that.

  • Centralized inventory of every public artwork
  • Instant access to provenance and ownership history
  • NFC-enabled on-site verification for field staff
  • Compliance documentation for cultural asset reports
  • Location tracking as art moves or is decommissioned
  • Role-based access for departments and contractors
100%

Your work. Your record. Forever.

Artists struggle to maintain ownership of their legacy once work enters public or institutional spaces. Art Trackers gives you a permanent, verified presence attached to every piece.

  • Register with a permanent Artist ID (AR-00000001)
  • Attach biographical and creative context to each piece
  • Your credit travels with the artwork — always
  • Verify authenticity of works attributed to you
  • Build a portfolio tied to verifiable public records
Artists
Your work deserves a permanent record
AR-ID
Permanent artist identity, linked to every registered piece
Always
Your name and intent preserved in the permanent record

Know exactly what you own.

Whether managing a corporate collection, museum archive, or private acquisition — provenance is everything. Art Trackers gives you verified records you can trust and share.

  • Full ownership chain from creation to acquisition
  • NFC verification for in-person authentication
  • Location and storage tracking for large collections
  • Insurance and appraisal documentation support
  • Transfer of ownership with permanent record update
Collectors
Every acquisition. Verified. Permanent.

How It Works

From registration to verification.

1

Register the Artwork

Submit artist info, medium, location, and docs. The system assigns a permanent AT-ID and hidden secure code instantly.

2

Apply the NFC Tag

An NTAG213 chip is linked to the AT-ID and applied to or near the artwork. The physical-to-digital bridge is set.

3

Track & Update

As the artwork moves or ownership changes, the record is updated. Full history is always preserved.

4

Scan to Verify

Authorized users scan the NFC tag and instantly access the verified record — on-site or in audit.

NFC Technology

The physical world, connected.

Every Art Trackers record links to a physical NFC chip — the same technology in your phone and transit card. Tap. Verify. Done. No app required.

We use NTAG213 chips — durable, weatherproof, readable by any modern smartphone. Your field staff, auditors, and visitors already have the tool in their pocket.

For Investors

The infrastructure layer the art world has been waiting for.

We're building a platform designed to become the system of records for artwork across its entire lifecycle — from creation through ownership transfers, placement, and storage. We're looking for a funding partner to help build this infrastructure together.

The Market Opportunity

The global art market ($60B+) has no standard system for provenance, ownership, or inventory tracking.

This creates friction across artists, galleries, collectors, and public institutions — at every stage of an artwork's life. Art Trackers solves this with a unified, permanent, technology-backed system of records.

What Art Trackers combines:

Core System
Universal Artwork ID — Digital provenance and inventory tracking (Patent Pending)
Physical-Digital Bridge
NFC-enabled physical-to-digital artwork identification
Intelligence Layer
AI-powered data and insights + Blockchain used as an integrity anchor
Software-First
Software-first platform with optional hardware support and future in-system transactions
Location & Discovery
Artwork location tracking, sharing, and public art discovery
Universal Profiles
Profiles for artists, collectors, galleries, and institutions — linking artwork to people and markets
Go-To-Market Strategy

Starting with institutional and government use cases where compliance, tracking, and auditability demands are highest — then expanding to artists, galleries, and auction houses.

Currently pre-launch / early-launch, validating adoption with living artists as our supply-side wedge. Building toward collector and institutional use cases — insurance, estates, museums, corporate collections, foundations, and auction houses — once sufficient registry density is achieved.

The Long-Term Moat

We're building a proprietary dataset of artwork, ownership, and transactions — creating a defensible data moat and the foundation for a trusted art infrastructure layer.
