About ArtTrak
Art Trak, which has been online since 1991, has gone through a number of changes as a direct result of what you have told us you wanted from our site. The Auction Database offers by subscription, the auction records of African, Pre-Columbian, American Indian, and Oceanic art sold since 1980. We are constantly looking for records to add prior to this date in addition to obscure and important recent catalogs. Expert Appraisers is a listing of experts in the antiques and art world that we respect and recommend. Tribal Galleries has recently undergone some major changes and now offers some of the best examples we can find of African, Pre-Columbian, Oceanic, and American Indian art. Just click on the image of the area where you would like to go. Prices are provided on request. Our Art Services section recommends art services personnel that are trusted and we have used. "Shop Art Trak" will be available soon. It will allow you to purchase various goods and services offered on this site. In addition, you will be able to subscribe to our online databases. In the very near future you will find our Historic American Indian pottery database which contains 1,830 ceramics dating from the 18th century to the mid 20th century from 7 major museum collections in the United States. The Discovery Gallery is presently under construction. In this section you will not only find interesting pieces that we have found on the Antiques Roadshow or on our travels but also less expensive treasures. We always want your feedback, so please let us know both what you like and don’t like.
