Recommendation engines have changed the way we think about – and the way we purchase – music, movies, and books. Do you like the Beastie Boys’ new album? Then check out Danger Mouse’s latest. Do you like Guillermo del Toro films? Then be sure to watch Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s movies.
However, there’s been no comparable recommendation engine for works of art. If you like a particular Henri Matisse painting, there hasn’t been a website for you to visit that will suggest other works by the artist or that will recommend other artists altogether.
But that’s the aim of ArtFinder, a London-based startup that wants to help make it easier for people to find art that they love. Or rather, that’s part of the aim.
