At Catawiki, we recognise Artificial Intelligence as a creative tool — an extension of the artist’s imagination. We welcome AI-generated artworks that reflect meaningful human input, originality, and artistic value.
To ensure quality, only submissions that meet the criteria below will be accepted.
What we accept
AI-generated artworks are eligible if they meet all of the following:
- Transparency:
- Clearly state the use of AI at the top of the description and include it in the lot title. Select the appropriate technique (e.g. “AI”, “Digital Art”, “Mixed Media”).
- Human Creativity:
- AI must be used as a tool — works must show clear human direction and creative intent.
- Legal Responsibility:
- Artists must hold full rights to all inputs (e.g. prompts, datasets) and avoid using copyrighted or trademarked material. Keep a log of your prompts.
- Medium requirements:
- Prints: Must be signed, unique (1/1), or signed limited editions. No print-on-demand.
- Mixed media: AI must be visibly combined with manual techniques (e.g. painting, collage).
- Size, value & profile:
- Reserve prices allowed only for works ≥ 100 × 100 cm
- Minimum estimated value: €100
