Lloyds Auctions' Art Platform Secures $1 Billion in Listings

Lloyds Auctions launched an innovative online art auction platform on January 1, 2026. Within weeks, it secured over $1 billion in art listings, including more than 3,000 pieces. This rapid growth positions it among the fastest-growing art-tech platforms.

Founded by entertainment and creative arts lawyer, Giuseppe Cassin, the platform aims to modernize art sales by connecting sellers directly with a global audience. It offers rigorous authentication, transparent fees, and real-time bidding open to all. Cassin's creation addresses issues in the traditional art market, providing global access previously reserved for a select few.

The platform features works from artists like MF Husain and FN Souza. With its growth, it may soon achieve unicorn status. New artists and auctions continue to join, fueling ongoing expansion.
