## What is ATFU?

Atfu is a love letter to artists. We imagined this network to spark unexpected encounters between the shy and the expressive, the novices and the experts, the jacks-of-all-trades and the perfectionists, the formalists and the self-taught. Atfu has already enabled the circulation of several thousand contemporary artworks, proving artists' vital desire to collect each other and unite. By supporting each other daily, the community generates its own market rating. We continue to proclaim that peer recognition—and now recognition among enthusiasts—is the foundation of value and renown. Atfu embodies this tour de force: a horizontal, sovereign, and immersive gaze at the art market.

This is your command center, accessible from anywhere:

- Magnifying Glass Icon (Search): To explore the database, look for a specific artist, a particular style, or access the Atfu rating.

- Floppy Disk Icon (Save): Your personal library. This is where your favorites and curation folders are stored.
