 New York/ London, October 5, 2023: Artnet AG, the leading platform for art
 market data and media, and the global online marketplace for fine art, is
 excited to announce that Martina Batovic has joined Artnet Auctions as Co-Head
 of Post-War & Contemporary Art. With over 15 years of experience at
 leading Galleries and Auction Houses, Martina is set to grow Artnet Auctions'
 presence in the UK and Europe.

  "I am delighted to be joining Artnet and to have the opportunity to lead the
 European team of the Post-War & Contemporary Department. Artnet has
 unparalleled brand strength and recognition, and its auctions have gone from
 strength to strength over the last years. Online art auctions are on the rise
 globally, and I look forward to continuing building on this legacy and working
 with my colleagues in creating a truly unmissable platform for placing and
 acquiring works at auction," Martina said.

 Previously, Martina spent 7 years in the auction world, most recently as the
 Head of UK for Dorotheum, building the UK business and client base for the
 important auction house in central Europe, and previously as a Post-War &
 Contemporary Specialist with Bonhams. Martina is a regular panelist, industry
 voice and an active participant in the contemporary art world, including PEER
 UK where she currently serves as a Trustee.

  "We are now delighted to couple our arsenal of tech-forward tools with
 Martina's curatorial and market prowess," said Colleen Cash, SVP,
 Marketplace."In this ever-evolving art market we know there's a real benefit
 to having  our specialist team in strategic locations. Martina is well
 well-placed to lead our ongoing expansion into the UK and Europe while working
 with our global leadership team to help refine and reposition our Post-War
 & Contemporary Art category for unfettered success in the years to come."

  With a multi-faceted view of the industry, Martina has worked across all
 three major areas of the market: auction, gallery and advisory. Since May
 2021, she is Founder & CEO of Artisan Art Intelligence, an innovative
 strategic consultancy focusing on private sales, market intelligence and art
 education. Building on her wealth of diverse industry experience, Martina
 works with clients to fulfill their needs when it comes to operating in the
 art world.

 As a pioneer of online transactions, Artnet's Marketplace is ideally
 positioned to harness the nascent shift to online experiences and sales within
 the art industry. With major auction houses reporting that the majority of
 their bidding is taking place online, and 78% of collectors having purchased

 uniquely positioned to offer collectors and professionals an unparalleled,
 holistic, and transparent experience and service by harnessing its rich data
 and information to empower buyers and sellers alike.
