In 2010, Christie's arts auction house sued Artprice for copyright violation of its digital catalog, claiming 63 million euros in commercial prejudice.
In 2014, Artprice redesigned its website and mobile applications and launched a premium fixed price marketplace service.
In February 2015, Artprice executives announced they were seriously considering a merger between an American auction house and their own American subsidiary, Artmarket.com. Later that same year, Artprice denied rumors about their intention to acquire Artnet.com.
