A smarter way to manage, buy, and sell fine art collections.

The art market is complex, fragmented, and traditionally reliant on opaque processes and paper trails. Collectors and dealers often struggle with managing multiple artworks, provenance records, offers, invoices, and shipping logistics across different channels. Without a single source of truth, key details such as ownership history, relationships between artworks, and financial documentation risk being lost or mishandled. This lack of structure not only increases inefficiencies and errors but also limits trust and transparency in high-value transactions. For collectors and galleries, the absence of an intuitive digital tool creates challenges in scaling operations and presenting professional, credible records to buyers, sellers, and institutions.

Blott partnered with Blain Art to design a modern, intuitive web application tailored to the art world’s unique workflows. The platform consolidates every stage of the lifecycle — from cataloguing and tracking offers, to managing client relationships, invoicing, and logistics. Its clean, minimal design supports fast adoption, with clear navigation for artworks, people, and transactions. Advanced search, relationship mapping, and detailed timelines provide complete visibility of an artwork’s journey. By blending user-friendly design with robust functionality, the application empowers collectors, galleries, and dealers to manage their portfolios with confidence and clarity. The result is a scalable digital infrastructure that streamlines operations and elevates the experience of buying and selling art.

The redesigned platform transformed how Blain Art’s users engage with their collections. Collectors and galleries now benefit from a single, centralised system to manage thousands of artworks, people, and opportunities. Offers can be tracked with precision, transactions are documented with invoices and shipping details, and ownership records are easy to navigate. Relationship and interest mapping features bring transparency to networks of artists, advisors, and collectors, while search and categorisation tools save significant administrative time. With a design that balances sophistication and simplicity, Blain Art is now positioned as a professional-grade tool for art management — enabling faster decision-making, greater transparency, and improved trust across stakeholders.
