ArtEngine CEO Jan Winkelmann spoke to Monocle at Frieze Art Fair in London.
ArtEngine was founded by Jan Winkelmann, who’s worked across different roles in the contemporary art world for more than 20 years.
As a curator at Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig, he was responsible for organizing breakthrough exhibitions from its opening in 1998 until 2003. This included a lineup of—the at time—emerging artists like Martin Eder, Olafur Eliasson, Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset, and Tobias Rehberger.
In 2003 he opened his own gallery in Berlin, participating over the years in international fairs such as Art Basel, Art Cologne, The Armory Show in New York, and Miami’s NADA Art Fair.
Then it was time for a new challenge—mobile and online art services. In 2010 he launched EYEOUT, a mobile art guide for Berlin that has grown into an international presence as Exhibitionary following a 2016 merger and subsequent renaming.
Further exploring the intersection between art and digital technology Jan launched Amazing Editions in 2015. The platform offers a hand picked selection of limited editions by some of today's most exciting artists.
Since 2014 Jan is running ArtEngine, a web-based inventory software for art collectors, artists and galleries.

Making a list is as easy as uploading an artwork. Just click on 'Lists' in the main menu, then choose 'Add list'.
How to add artworks to a list:Tags are ArtEngine's secret weapon... They make organising, searching for and displaying works in your inventory easy.
You can define your own tags using any criteria you choose, and apply as many tags as you like to an artwork.
Benefits of tagging your artworks:All tags you create can be found and displayed using a simple search – so you can export the search results directly into a new list for saving or printing (see FAQ: How do I create a list?)
Please note: your tags can be defined by free text, so there's no need to write_your_tags_like_this. Just add words separated by spaces, like in the examples above.
You can setup a showroom for works you want to share with friends and colleagues. Invite one or more people to view your collection privately.
Here’s how to setup a showroom:To share your showroom with others, simply click the Share button and add email recipients. You can include a message to introduce your showroom too.
(If you prefer to email the link directly from your email service, you can just copy and paste the showroom URL)
