NEW YORK, NY.- Just one month after its public release, The Art Marketplace, founded by Elliot Safra and partners from leading art world institutions, is already making waves in the private fine art market. The centralized online platform, built to unify disparate global art networks, has already successfully facilitated several notable transactions involving works by esteemed artists such as Kenny Scharf, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kathryn Bernhardt, and Joel Mesler, demonstrating the immediate viability and appeal of its model.

The genesis of The Art Marketplace stemmed from the team's firsthand experience with collector frustrations—both in finding buyers for pieces they wanted to sell and in locating works they wanted to acquire. Recognizing that traditional art networks remained largely geographic and fragmented, they developed a platform where fine art listings and inquiries are handled at a truly global level.

The platform's approach prioritizes discretion: while listings are viewable by all, they display only essential artwork information—artist name, date, description, location, and price. Sensitive details such as title, provenance, and photographs are disclosed exclusively upon verification of genuine purchase intent.

"We identified a fundamental geographic disconnect in the market," says Elliot Safra. "A collector in Los Angeles seeking a specific work might never discover it's available for sale in Seoul. We saw an opportunity to create a more efficient system for private sales—one built on direct engagement between collectors and advisors worldwide."

The Art Marketplace's commitment to a rigorous vetting process and privacy is clearly resonating. Within weeks of its launch, the platform has rapidly on-boarded over 300 prominent collectors and advisors globally, spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Furthermore, The Art Marketplace has successfully tapped into a wealth of off-market inventory sourced directly from private collections. The platform offers collectors a unique avenue to discreetly sell works—often directly from their walls—without concerns of the artwork becoming overexposed or "burnt" on the market. This capability addresses a critical gap, as consigning works to traditional channels like auction houses or broadly notifying advisors can lead to widespread circulation and overexposure. This access to off-market works provides a unique advantage for buyers seeking pieces not currently available through traditional gallery or auction channels.

The Art Marketplace differentiates itself through:

● Direct Global Connections: Eliminates geographic barriers that have historically fragmented the art market

● Privacy-First Approach: Protects sensitive artwork details until serious buyer intent is established

● Off-Market Access: Provides exclusive access to inventory unavailable through traditional channels

● Streamlined Transactions: The Art Marketplace purchases works directly and handles resale to final client, simplifying the process for all parties involved

The Art Marketplace is quickly establishing itself as the premier destination for discerning collectors and their advisors seeking a more secure, and efficient way to engage in high-value private fine art transactions and access exclusive inventory.
