VWART Auction Intelligence — Europe, USA & Drouot
Discover paintings and fine artworks worth investigating before you bid. One membership brings together weekly auction research from Europe, the United States, and Hôtel Drouot in Paris.
Three selections. One membership.
EUROPE — Upcoming lots at independent and regional auction houses across France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany.
USA — Upcoming fine-art lots at credible independent and regional American auction houses.
DROUOT PARIS — Upcoming sales held physically at Hôtel Drouot, with selections spanning higher and lower estimate levels when qualifying lots are available.
What each edition includes
Up to ten qualifying artworks per selection, with artist and title, auction house, location, auction date, lot number, estimate and currency, and a direct lot link.
Each work receives a full-width “Why would I look at it?” discussion, followed by risks, missing evidence, and questions to raise before bidding. When fewer than ten lots meet the verification standard, the edition will say so rather than fill the list with weak candidates.
AI research, with an editorial review before release
ChatGPT produces the initial research and draft selections. Drafts remain unpublished until Gérard reviews and approves the edition. The commentary is preliminary research; it is not authentication, a formal appraisal, or a guarantee of investment performance.
How membership will work
Membership costs US$19.99 per month and includes all three selections, a members-only archive, and an email linking to each approved edition. Billing renews monthly until cancelled. Cancel future renewals at any time. Use your subscription email to sign in and read protected editions.
Research is prepared ahead of the advertised sales. Auction schedules, estimates, availability, and catalogue descriptions can change. Buyers should confirm current details with the auction house and obtain condition reports, provenance documents, and independent advice where appropriate.
For collectors who want a more focused starting point
Use the selections to decide which artworks deserve closer investigation. Always allow for buyer’s premiums, taxes, shipping, condition, attribution uncertainty, and resale costs.
Membership is now open at US$19.99 per month. Choose the plan below, then log in or create your member account to continue to secure checkout. Research editions are released after editorial review.
