Takung Art Company Limited is a China-based online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of fine art and collectibles. The company’s platform specializes in offering 19th- and 20th-century Chinese paintings, calligraphy works, modern and contemporary art, and related collectibles. Through its proprietary e-commerce portal and mobile applications, Takung Art facilitates art trading by providing detailed listings, high-resolution imagery, condition reports, and digital provenance records to support informed purchasing decisions.
In addition to its core online marketplace, Takung Art offers a suite of value-added services, including consignment auctions, private treaty sales, art appraisal and authentication, professional shipping and logistics, and secure storage solutions. By integrating technology with traditional art brokerage services, the company aims to streamline transaction processes, reduce overhead for sellers, and expand market access for collectors. Its data analytics tools and expert appraisal teams work in tandem to help establish fair market valuations and ensure the authenticity of each piece.
While Takung Art’s primary market is Mainland China, it has extended its reach to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, North America and select European markets. The company leverages cross-border e-commerce capabilities to support international consignors and buyers, and it partners with galleries, auction houses, museums and cultural institutions to host both online and offline exhibitions. This hybrid approach allows Takung Art to cultivate relationships within the global art community and to tap into the growing interest in Asian art among overseas collectors.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Beijing, Takung Art completed its initial public offering on the NYSE American exchange in 2014 under the ticker TKAT. The company has since grown through strategic acquisitions, technology enhancements and partnerships with leading art professionals. Its leadership team, led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Chengwei Lu, includes seasoned experts in art finance, digital technology and logistics, all focused on expanding the company’s footprint in the evolving global art market.
