Abstract

The size and complexity of data collected in the art world grow yearly. Information about artists, their works, sales, exhibitions, and other metrics can be collected and structured in databases to identify trends and understand how the art market works. Big data analysis can also become an important tool for studying an artist's career and understanding what affects their reputation and success in the contemporary art system.
