How it works

Wassily replaces the traditional search-form workflow with a conversational interface backed by millions of auction records.

01
Ask a question

Type what you’re looking for the way you’d describe it to a colleague. “Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe screenprints sold after 2020”, “Comps for a 24×30 Keith Haring silkscreen”, or “How has the market for KAWS prints performed over the last five years?”

02
We search our database

Wassily interprets your query, searches across our comprehensive database of auction results, and identifies the most relevant records. Our AI understands art-world terminology, so you don’t have to translate your question into database syntax.

03
Get structured results

You receive a clear, organized response — comparable sales with prices, dates, and auction houses; trend charts; value estimates with supporting comps; or whatever your question calls for. Every answer links back to real auction data.

04
Dig deeper

Follow up with another question to refine your search, change the time range, narrow by medium or auction house, or explore a related artist. Each conversation builds on the last, so context carries forward naturally.
