Artory introduction
Artory's blockchain-based registry tracks the provenance of artwork and collectibles using the industry's first object-oriented database. Originally founded in 2016 by Nanne Dekking. Collectors are more skeptical and risk-averse than in the past, with more than half wanting better provenance information to support a purchase. The Artory Registry aims to digitally record the story, history, provenance, sales and archival material of art collections, bringing greater confidence to those who buy and sell art. The Artory Registry is also a platform for dealers and auction houses to work with collectors in a secure, anonymous environment. Working with industry partners, the registry will establish industry standardization of records and proof of ownership.
