Major shake up at Artnet as founder retires after more than three decades
Briefly

Artnet is preparing for significant changes following the retirement of its founder, Hans Neuendorf. The company will hold an annual general meeting on February 27 to propose a new supervisory board that includes high-profile individuals like Frédéric Jousset and Sophie Neuendorf. Rüdiger Weng, the largest shareholder, seeks board representation and has criticized Artnet's outdated website. The AGM agenda includes discussions on capital increases, aiming to secure support from shareholders to enhance Artnet's position in the competitive online art marketplace.
"Artnet is working hard on finding solutions that benefit all shareholders, allowing the company to bring in new capital while remaining true to its mission as an independent information provider."
"Weng... has long been a thorn in the company's side, seeking a seat on the board and complaining that the company has an out-of-date website and no mobile application."
