We're buildingthe infrastructurethe art world skipped.
The art world runs on relationships, taste, and trust — and on spreadsheets, twenty-year-old databases, and memory. PopArtist exists because the people who actually make and sell contemporary art deserve infrastructure that matches the seriousness of the work.
Galleries deserve better software.Artists deserve a real record.The art world deserves a trust layer.
Galleries are running modern programs on tools built before the iPhone. Artists are tracking their careers in screenshots and DMs. Brands, fairs, museums, and collectors all rely on the same fragmented sources — and pay the cost of that fragmentation in time, deals, and missed history.
PopArtist is one piece of infrastructure for all of it: an operating system for galleries, a verified record for every artist they represent, and dedicated tools for the institutions and buyers around them. We don't replace galleries. We don't disintermediate artists. We build the layer they've never had.
NYC galleries first.Then everywhere serious artis made.
A small team,building for the long run.
PopArtist was founded by Brian Miguel. We're building from New York, working alongside the first cohort of design-partner galleries, and shipping infrastructure that's meant to last decades — not the current funding cycle.
Become adesign partner.
We're onboarding a limited cohort of New York galleries this season. If you run a serious program and you're tired of running it on spreadsheets, talk to us.
