In 2013, Google and Baidu (China) will have direct access toall Artprice databases

As announced in its last press release, in early December Artpricebegan making available a very large part of the structure of itsdatabases and its Market Art standardization as freeware online (freeproprietary software license, but with certain usage restrictions),mainly via Google and Baidu (China).
Artprice is thus continuing – without any negative impact on itsturnover or earnings – to acquire new customers (with accompanyingbehavioural logs) in the framework of its integration of Big Dataimplemented in early 2012.
Artprice now has a colossal customer database with records of over 18billion logs – in full compliance with the regulations of the Europeanand American authorities – allowing it to know exactly what each of itsclients is looking for and/or possesses through its Data Miningactivities over the past nine years. This system has recently beenenhanced by the use of Big Data .

-Lex Google- is not really the right answer in the globaldigital economy.
The relationship between Google and Artprice is contractual and datesback to 2003. It is in itself, proof that -Lex Google- is not reallythe right answer in the global digital economy. In 2013, Artprice aims,mainly with Google and Baidu (China) in their various languages, topost about 210 million standardised free Art Market data online withoutimpacting its sales and earnings and to be active at the core of themarket via its fixed-price and auction-based Standardised Marketplace.
