The reference benchmark covering all repeat-sale-eligible fine art globally. Base 100 = Jan 1986.
Top 100 artists by 5-year rolling auction turnover, rebalanced quarterly.
Period and medium cuts of the global market, suitable for sector allocation and benchmarking.
The art market by access level — the first benchmarks that segment by hammer price band.
Cohort cuts designed for allocation themes — ESG, regional exposure, and today's market.
Equal-weighted indices on the 25 most liquid artists at auction — each with ≥30 repeat-sale pairs.
Case-Shiller-grade transparency for the art market.
Each index is computed by weighted least-squares regression over matched repeat-sale pairs from 1986 onward. No appraisals, no model opinions, no discretion — only realised auction prices on identical artworks held between six months and forty years.
Rules-based & auditable
Deterministic WLS regression over repeat-sale pairs. Every published value is reproducible from the source transactions, with the matching pipeline and rejection rules documented end-to-end.
Monthly cadence, 2-month lag
Values are released on the second Tuesday of each month, covering data through the prior month-end — synchronised with the Case-Shiller publication cadence.
Open revisions, full history
Repeat-sales in art arrive over decades. Every value carries a version stamp and an as-of date; full revision history is retrievable for audit and back-testing.
Need an index nobody publishes yet?
Wealth managers, family offices, structured-product issuers and ETP sponsors license bespoke LiveArt indices as the benchmark for their own product lines — from an ESG-screened contemporary cut for a structured note, to a single-region market-cap index for a family office. We design, calculate, audit, and distribute against your spec.
Setup, monthly calculation, audit, and licensing — handled end-to-end by the indices team.
