PARIS, Dec. 21, 2018 /CNW/ -- Artprice, a Server®
Group company and internet pioneer since 1985 in Europe, and Cision® are pleased to announce an
exclusive newswire distribution partnership. The partnership makes
Cision the official news and content distributor for a world leader
in art market information.
The strategic partnership designates Cision as the sole
distribution service provider for Artprice information on art
market trends for today's worldwide principal media
agencies including approximately 7,200 international press
publications. The deal is a direct result of a long-standing
relationship spanning two decades between Artprice and Cision,
two strong leaders in their respective markets.
Artprice is a global leader in art price and art index
databanks. It has over 30 million indices and auction results.
Artprice Images® gives unlimited access to the largest Art Market
resource in the world: a library of 126 million images or prints of
artworks from the year 1700 to the present day, along with comments
by Artprice's art historians.
"We take great pride in providing the best global news related
to the art market industry such as, auction results, indices
covering over 700,000 artists, major events, and museum openings
across the five continents," said Artprice Founder and CEO,
Thierry Ehrmann. "Cision's newswire
service exceeds an industry-standard for news dissemination as
revealed by our audit; it allows Artprice to reach its market
representing roughly 90 million buyers and collectors through
reliable and fast distribution, reaching the depths of its
audience. In 2019, Artprice and Cision hence give birth to the very
first Art Press agency on a
worldwide scale."
Cision stood out amongst competitors for partnership due to
exceptional customer service and providing a newswire service
unique in terms of diffusion and content. Global distribution was
key for Artprice with a specific focus in France, Europe and China -- where it is associated with the
Chinese leader in the Art Market, its solid institutional partner
Artron.net -- to solidify its footprint in the international art
market. The partnership will expand upon Artprice's global reach
and impact as its Museum Industry®, a global program supporting the
expansion of museum openings, is now active across five
continents.
"Cision's recent technological investments have reinforced
our position as a partner of choice for news distribution,"
says Frédéric Dumas, VP of Sales, Cision, France. "We work with the most respected
brands and now in our twentieth year of serving Artprice worldwide,
we are expanding upon our steadfast commitment to ensuring a
relevant audience for Artprice content."
