Invaluable, the world’s leading online marketplace for premier auction houses selling fine and decorative arts and collectibles, has acquired the Swiss technology company Artmyn SA. Artmyn has developed an art-scanning technology for authenticating artworks and delivering unique digital representations of physical artwork and NFTs. Borel & Barbey advised Artmyn for this acquisition. The team was led by Anne Laure Bandle and Alexandre Gallopin.
Artmyn scans artworks and captures tens of thousands of photographs with different light sources and spectrums, now including infrared lights. The process generates a 5D interactive file and a short immersive video containing more than 1.5 billion pixels — offering auction houses, consignors and buyers unparalleled views and feelings of texture for each scanned artwork (www.artmyn.com).
