The art industry is developing rapidly, experts and economists say that the country's income is partly contributed by the art industry which continues to grow and develop at any time.
The art industry currently has a very important role in the economy of a country, not only in developing countries like Indonesia. This cannot be separated because the arts industry has a role to improve the economy of a country globally. The art industry is closely connected with the level of human creativity as the main resource for driving the economy. The many sectors of the art industry that are created are the fruits of creativity and innovation developed by someone.

What Is 4ARTechnologies?
4ARTechnologies is creating a blockchain-powered cataloguing and transactions platform to take greater transparency, safety and proceeding efficiency to the art community. The 4ART platform as a assistance helps users preserve all ownership certification, lending, restoration, transportation and insurance coverage connected to an artwork – for owners of particular pieces as well as galleries and museums with big portfolios.
About 4ARTechnologies
4ARTechnologies Group (4ARTechnologies Holding AG and its subsidiaries) – hereafter referred to as “4ARTechnologies” – is building a blockchain-powered cataloguing and transactions platform to bring greater transparency, security and process efficiency to the art world. At the heart of the platform lies a patented “augmented authentication” technology made available through our unique technical partner Atlantic Zeiser GmbH. By allowing users to log an artwork’s “fingerprint” on the blockchain along with all important information on history/provenance, this technology renders registered artworks essentially unforgeable. Requiring nothing more than a standard smartphone, this first-of-its-kind solution doesn’t just combat the problem of art fraud, but provides highly relevant use cases for all art world players.
POWERFUL IMAGE-AUTHENTICATION SOFTWARE
Our (existing!) software is able to scan and match an artwork’s unique digital fingerprint by capturing its finest textural details. Once this fingerprint is stored on the blockchain, the artwork is essentially unforgeable: this powerful software detects even the most sophisticated fake.
A BLOCKCHAIN-POWERED CATALOGUING AND TRANSACTION PLATFORM
At the heart of our blockchain-based platform are the artworks’ forgery- profiles including their digital fingerprints, history, and provenance. For any transaction, smart contracts and the decentralized nature of the blockchain guarantee the highest security standards. This finally offers the unprecedented transparency the art world has lacked.
VALUE FOR THE ENTIRE ARTS ECOSYSTEM
The best solutions are those that benefit all. Our authentication protocol works for art portfolios large or small, for individual owners or big institutions. For insurers and logistic firms, it makes instant condition reports quick and easy and offers novel track & trace functionality. And not least, it opens the way for artists to earn from resales of their works.
4ARTECHNOLOGIES MAIN FEATURES
Eliminates the problem of art fraud Once an artwork’s “fingerprint” has been captured, all it takes to check that artwork’s authenticity is another quick scan using the mobile app. Since this fingerprint – along with all other vital information on history and provenance – is stored on the blockchain, it is tamper-proof.
Creates transparency at no expense to privacy The industry has long resisted the creation of a centralized database due privacy concerns for investors and artwork owners, and the lack of a practical technical solution.
Bring novel efficiency to condition and restoration reporting condition report are part of virtually every transaction in the art market, from insurance to logistic to sales – at least in theory. With the 4ART mobile app, both condition and restoration reports are bound to become a matter of minutes for a fraction of the establised cost.
Makes managing portfolios easier than ever the 4ART platform as a service helps users maintain all ownership certification, lending, restoration, transportation and insurance coverage related to an artwork – for owners of individual pieces as well as galleries and museums with large portfolios.
Empowers artist to earn from resales of their works Like any other holder of intellectual property (e.g. writers or musicians) artist, too, are entitled to gain royalities from their works.
Market Potential While art has long been a prized asset for investors looking to diversify their portfolios, the most recent number on the art market published by Art Basel and UBS in their report on “The Art Market 2018” reveal the true potential of vibrant and growing market. Having grown by 12% since 2016, the market’s annual turnover in 2017 amounted to $ 63.7 billion, broken down into 39 million individual transactions – the highest number of transaction since 2008. The fact that the number of transactions grew by only 8% suggest that the average value of artworks traded has in
