History and Team:
In 2007, Christoph Lauterbach and Hartwig Bentele decided to use their skills and experience in programming, architecture, 3D modelling and entrepreneurship to build „one of those“ Berlin- based Start-Ups: Kunstmatrix. In 2008, they were joined by Prof. Dr. Kristian Hildebrand, who recognized the potential of the ideas behind Kunstmatrix and brought the scientific background and networks as well as his programming skills to the company. Working steadily towards the goal of providing ever better solutions in the art market, Kunstmatrix develops powerful and extremely flexible software solutions. This software covers the needs of artists, galleries, collectors, museums, auction houses and art fairs. With a strong focus on providing the best technology, Kunstmatrix was the first to offer self-curated exhibitions (2009), a „trial hanging“ augmented reality app (2012), a „virtual art fair“ (2014), and the prototype of Art VR with the first available devices. Choosing the art market as a launching point was a mixed blessing. Kunstmatrix was always profitable, thanks to the diversity and openness of its participants. And it always found a sympathetic ear, even though digitization in this market was extremely slow. This led to slow, organic growth until 2017, when the focus shifted to artists and small galleries in the international market, especially in the US. With this decision, growth accelerated and Kunstmatrix was able to expand its business and team. Since the beginning of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the art community is discovering digital tools and made Kunstmatrix the leading provider of virtual exhibitions today.
