Artory Inc.

Artory was founded in 2016 by Nanne Dekking, an eloquent advocate for change in the international art market, with the endorsement and support of Hasso Plattner, the founder of SAP and an internationally-renowned art collector.

While working together, Nanne and Hasso saw the challenges facing the art market—with two-thirds of collectors worried about buying fakes, the lack of trust in the art market is self-evident. They realized that their combined art world expertise and technical resources could lead to something truly special—and Artory was born.

Artory is a secure, public registry for art and objects, utilizing blockchain technology. Artory’s mission is to protect and grow the prosperity and enjoyment of those who buy, own, and sell art. Their teams in New York and Berlin have built the core product—the Artory Registry—and through innovative technological solutions, as a neutral and trusted resource, Artory is bringing a new level of confidence to the market.
