One Art World is an online service provider for the international art market with headquarters in New York. Prior to July 2009, One Art World was known as chelseaartgalleries.com.

Business model

One Art World is an information platform for the international fine art market.[1][2] It provides services allowing its users to search and view artist, gallery and exhibition profiles, and to attain auction price data, giving them an effective overview of the art market and enabling them to contact art galleries. The platform caters specifically to art dealers, art professionals, art students and collectors. The services are free to users, while galleries pay a fee to list their exhibitions and inventory.

Services

The primary service of this business is to give users access to up-to-date art market information by providing:

  • a calendar of art events such as exhibitions, receptions, and art fairs
  • directories of artists, galleries, and art professionals
  • listings of artworks for sale by galleries
  • information on contemporary art auction results

One Art World maintains its own proprietary databases of the information underlying the above services. The exhibition and inventory databases are maintained by the galleries using self-service interfaces (The Exhibition Manager and The Inventory Manager respectively).

Though this business lists artworks for sale, it does not engage in art dealing, but merely serves as a conduit between the art collector and the art dealer.
