Update: Painting the scene

artnet continues to build its market presence, buoyed by the growth in the influence of online in the international fine art trade. Heavier investment in sales and marketing costs and the launch costs of the newly-revamped website are weighing on profitability short-term and we have brought back our numbers post the publication of the half-year figures. However, there are signs that the more ‘traditional’ elements of the business are turning the corner, while the auctions business starts to gain more traction. The share price continues to fail to recognise the scale of the opportunity.
