Founded in 2011 by Christopher Barnekow and Pontus Silfverstolpe, both from Sweden, Barnebys launched its platform in French in February 2015, seeking to become established on the French-speaking market.
Barnebys entrusted Communic’Art with a mission of consultancy in communication and press relations amongst French-speaking targets in the European area.

The first action was a press conference at Artcurial in Paris to promote the launch of Barnebys.fr and present the platform. The conference attracted 25 French-speaking journalists.
Results
In two years of collaboration, Communic’Art has achieved extensive media coverage in both the specialist art press and the economic, design, lifestyle, luxury and general press.

2,000 auction houses, including 200 French-speaking, have already joined Barnebys, including Aguttes, Catawiki, Artcurial and Tajan…
