Risk warning & disclaimer
Last updated: 2026-06-21 · Read this before relying on anything Artlex shows you.
Risk warning
The value of art can fall as well as rise. You may not get back what you paid. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns, and your capital is at risk.
Art is not a regulated investmentunder the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Nothing on Artlex is personal financial advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold a specific work or artist's output. You are responsible for your own decisions and should consult a qualified advisor for advice specific to your situation.
About Artlex scores
Artlex composite scores, buy ratings (STRONG BUY / BUY / WATCH / HOLD / SELL / PASS) and AI-generated rationales are indicative signals synthesised from multiple independent sources: press coverage, multilingual cultural velocity, gallery affiliations, exhibition history, social presence, and similar inputs we trust.
They are not professional appraisals or valuations. They are not guaranteed buy or sell prices. They are not investment advice. We publish the underlying reasoning so you can judge each signal on its own merits, never the other way around.
If you need an authoritative valuation for insurance, probate, tax, or sale, commission a qualified appraiser.
Data accuracy
We work hard to keep records accurate but cannot guarantee that every artist record is complete or current. Sources can be wrong; biographical data may be incomplete; press counts can include false matches.
If you spot an error, please tell us via the contact form. We read every message and correct what we can.
Jurisdiction
Artlex is operated from the United Kingdom. If you access the service from a jurisdiction where art-market intelligence services are regulated differently, you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with local law.
In short:Artlex is a research and discovery tool, not a broker, dealer, or advisor. Treat our scores the way you'd treat a well-informed friend's view of an artist: useful input, never the last word.
