A. M.: Thank you, Gottfried, for taking the time to speak with Art Market Magazine about your fantastic platform and the changes it's created in the art world during this year.
We have so many questions about the web app, the developments, and goals, but first, let's talk about your background. How did you get into the Art Market field at such an early age – 27? Were you trained in the arts?
G. E.: I didn't really get into art until about 5-6 years ago. I used to be a professional athlete, and my world revolved around swimming pools. For a long time, my father (Artist name: Feromontana) created art as a balance to this daytime job. After being featured on the cover of Art Market Magazine's 1st GOLD LIST Issue, his art career took off, and we visited art fairs around the world.
Founded in late 2018, in Graz, Austria, fynd.art is developing a game-changing experience for art events visitors. With advanced image recognition and object detection, visitors of art events can use fynd.art to receive contactless artwork and exhibitor information through their personal smartphone – without a download or registration.
That's where I realized that in the art world, the transformation into the digital age had not happened on the same level as in other markets. During my university years, I studied business and combined my interests to create fynd. art.
