History

MutualArt was founded in 2004 by Moti Shniberg, an Israeli-born technology entrepreneur; David A. Ross, a former director of the Whitney Museum; and Dan Galai, a professor of business at Hebrew University. [1] [4] [5]

MutualArt acted initially as a holding company for the Artist Pension Trust. [6] [7] [8] The company's CEO is Zohar Elhanani. [9]

In 2008, MutualArt launched its online portal, mutualart.com. [10] [11] At the time, its web site was reportedly one of the first examples of the Web 2.0 Semantic Web applied to a customer service. [12] The site attempted to link art collectors with artists, museums, galleries and information sources including the art publications, auction house information and prices. [12]

In 2016, the company merged with the Artist Pension Trust [13] [14] to form the MutualArt Group. [15] [16]
