Independent intelligence for the global art market.
Every other source of advice in the art market has something to sell. The auction house wants the consignment. The gallery wants the sale. The advisor earns on both. Impasto holds no inventory and brokers no transactions. It exists for one purpose — to tell you what a painter and their work are actually worth.
We aggregate auction records from every major market, reaching back decades, and read them the way an analyst reads any other asset class — return, volatility, liquidity, drawdown, fair value. Behind every figure sits the context that moves it: provenance, condition, institutional holdings, exhibition record, and the depth of a market measured by who is buying and how often.
Your local advisor knows their corner of the market. Impasto knows the whole of it, and owes nothing to anyone within it. That independence is the entire point.
