Artificial intelligence at WETTMANN Art Auctions

In this article, we would like to highlight the many facets of AI in the artistic field and to give you an overview of the exciting possibilities that arise from the use of this technology - possibilities that also find application in our own house.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has had an enormous impact on various areas of life, and the world of art is no exception. AI systems have have begun to play a significant role in the creation, analysis and mediation of works of art. In this article we will introduce the different aspects of AI in art and offer a glimpse of the new creative possibilities opened by this technology and that we also use in our house.

AI generated art

One of the most well-known and controversial topics is the applications of AI in art and the creation of artistic works generated by AI systems how GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks). This technology allows it, to create new images, pieces of music or texts by accessing on huge amounts of data based patterns, interpreting and , combining them on innovative ways. artist, who are open for this approach, use this technology to create unique and fascinating artworks that challenge human imagination and creativity.

Art is beautiful - but also makes a lot of work

Karl Valentin (1882-1948)

So have some artist have begun to view AI as a collaborative partner in their creative process. They use the capabilities of AI systems to extend their own ideas and techniques and while exploring the boundaries between humans and machines. Examples include artist Sougwen Chung, who uses robotic arms to interpret her drawings live on the stage and and artist Mario Klingemann, who has been developing algorithms that combine painting and photographic styles to create digital artworks since the early 2000s.

AI as a collaborative partner in the artistic creation process.

how do we use AI as an auction house?

To anticipate it , KI replaces our work not, the close human contact with our customers, the comprehensive, accessible and transparent advice, the art historical classification, the work description and examination of the condition of each work is close to our heart and are paired with years of experience in the international art market, an indispensable part of our work. We estimate your art of national and international artist professionally and increase the value of your works, whereby you place a successful investment - as a consignor and buyer.

"Art is beautiful - but it also makes a lot of work," the stage artist and author Karl Valentin (1882-1948) already pronounced and is still right in 2023.

However, in order to simplify our work with the artworks, the research and of the classification in the work of an artist, artificial intelligence helps us.

AI helps us work more efficiently, but it can and replace personal contact not .

By taking a photo of the relevant work, we can often find out in advance what it your art is about. Artificial intelligence helps us analyze a print, painting, photograph or sculpture and to interpret it. AI-based algorithms can recognize patterns and styles in artworks to extract information about the artist, historical context or meaning of an artwork. This helps us tremendously as an auction house, as it often for a single artist there are thousands of entries in catalogs of works. In short, through AI we can provide you with more comprehensive, faster and more efficient advise and the value of your objects.

Our conclusion - Technical possibilities and the irreplaceable value of personal relationships

The technical possibilities are in the 21st century not only for artist comprehensively accessible, but also for us as an auction house. Nevertheless, the direct personal contact with our customers is paramount, this can and no technology should replace, because art is it ultimately always about feeling, about aesthetics and the balance of scientific comprehensibility and personal enjoyment. In this sense we look forward on to your submissions and make you gladly familiar with our work!
