Art Rights: Blockchain and AI Platform for Art Authentication and Collection Management

digital · 2026-04-27

Art Rights, a startup founded by Andrea Concas, has launched a platform that uses blockchain and artificial intelligence to authenticate, track, and manage art collections. The platform offers three main services: an Art Manager for digitizing unlimited works, an Art Rights Certificate that records provenance and ownership history, and an Art Concierge connecting users with art professionals. It also allows emerging artists to create digital archives compliant with Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage protocols (PACTA) and auction house standards. After two years of testing, the platform is now entering the market. Project manager Alessia Cuccu stated that Art Rights innovates and automates the authentication process typical of artist archives, offering it to artists, galleries, curators, museums, and professionals. The system uses blockchain for tamper-resistant validation and a neural network AI for authenticity verification, market analysis, and collection management.
