Artsy is the world's largest online art marketplace, connecting collectors with artists and galleries worldwide. The platform features over 1 million artworks from 100,000+ artists and provides access to galleries, art fairs, and auction houses globally. Artsy offers a Public API providing access to images of historic artwork and related information for educational and non-commercial purposes, with access limited to public domain works. The API provides resources for artists, artworks, galleries, shows, sales, and gene (classification) data. Note that the public API may be retired; partner integrations are handled through a separate partner API program.
