Limna: Art Gallery Prices

I was expecting a lot from this app and thought “Wow finally” Oh was I disappointed! I entered several very current rising contemporary art stars who have had record breaking sales at auction recently and sellout shows and who I also have in my collection so know the rough value of the pieces in question. The estimates were so far off it was frankly embarrassing! I gave it a few months to see if anything changed and sadly no. Still the inaccurate info and pricing. Uninstalled. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Given me much more confidence to explore buying art

So helpful while at Art Basel, finding out more about the careers of all the artists - as well as how much they might be selling for without having to ask a gallery yet!

The amount of CV and background for contemporary artists is phenomenal.

Game changer? NO! Annoying? YES. Trustworthy? NO. i searched multiple artists who i follow and your results ARE NOT COMPREHENSIVE. Therefore to say people can buy with confidence from this app is ridiculous. NO DATA IS BETTER THAN YOUR INCORRECT DATA. You don’t include the vast majority of their shows or artwork sales, therefore your results are factually incorrect. As a result all your stats were vastly inaccurate. My trust that you have the technology to comprehensively audit the market is lost. It’s obvious you don’t have the ability to harvest art market data. I would have loved it if you could do what you say you can do. But massively over promising and under delivering doesn’t work. i will be deleting this app.

Useless. Didn’t recognise any art (including a Banksy?!?!). Data capture at its worst. Hilariously bad. 1 star rating is 1 star too many. 👋🏻

It’s a good start with a great meat bid to measure the artwork size. However, whilst it gives you a basic indication of how much a more general average value of any artist’s 100x100 painting/photograph, more could be done to add different types of artwork selection (such as sketches, lithographs, prints/signed prints, etchings, drawings, oil/watercolour paintings…). There is a risk someone looking to invest in a piece of art could be fobbed off into buying an artist’s piece of art that is not a photograph/painting, and it’s value substantially lower than what this app suggests. The app could give a false sense of security to the user/potential naive art purchaser with little experience. It could also be worth adding a little more understanding to the app as to how you calculate the momentum and other calculations, some seem a little… questionable. But I guess it could be based on the apps own algorithm structure and calculation. Would be good to understand where and how you calculate this? Also, what do you do with your data from people using this app to search. Is it provided to 3rd parties such as galleries/data firms? Does it get reused in your own app algos? It would be good to hear more about it this too. Hope this helps.

Can’t take pictures to validate. You must fill in the form to get price.

Total waste of time. The app does not give you correct information and the value of art is totally wrong.

It’s such a useful resource if you’re ever prospecting to buy a piece but unsure about a fair price to pay.
