Welcome to Artnet Information Center, you will find everything about Artnet in this little unassuming booth, with the interior inspired by the typical office in the 80s, the time when Artnet was born. In the 80s, people were still using fax machines for communication and the popular personal computer was Apple Macintosh II. Imagine, for a moment, that it’s 1989. There is a culture of secrecy in the art market, where paintings trade through handshake deals in smoky back rooms. Artnet launched the world's first fine art price database, the same year Tim Berners-Lee unveiled his proposal for the World Wide Web. In 1996, Artnet Magazine was born as an online journal—and one of the first online art publishing initiatives in history. In 2001, when buying books on the Internet was still seen as a novelty, Artnet started selling art online. You will find links to visit our websites as well as an event page that details the full program happening during the Art Week at Decentraland. At the very end of your visit, don’t forget to grab a hat as a gift from us, we appreciate you coming to see us in Decentraland!
