art-ledger

A record of the art market's transactions — the sales that set prices and the works that vanished into private hands.

The Ledger (artbitrage.io/ledger) is the second wing of artbitrage: the 33 record sales and the 17 works that vanished into private hands. Where the atlas maps where art hangs, the art-ledger maps how it moved — the sales that made the prices and the disappearances that took the art out of sight. Every fact web-verified twice, sources on every entry. The castle already has a ledger meaning a written record that stands in for an unreliable inner feel; the art-ledger is its cousin in a different domain — a record of what the market did, not what the mind guessed.
