Time Memory Mistakes Emotion Brushstrokes

As parents of 2 young children growing up in an accelerated AI world, we wanted them to learn what makes us most human by surrounding them with original arts. We found a market built by and for the wealthiest in our society. So we built the one we wanted, for us and for everyone.

About Unprompted

We are raising two children in the age of AI.
So we decided to surround them with things a machine cannot make.

Why we exist

Our mission

Making original creation an everyday access for families, so that our children can never be threatened by artificial creation.

We are both executives at an AI software company. We are also the parents of a first grader and a one-year-old. Every day we see what these systems can do. And like everyone else, we see what they stand to replace.

That left us with a question we could not shake: how do you prepare a child for a world where a machine can do almost any technical skill? We still don’t have the answer. But it led us to a better question. What makes us most human?

Lived experience. The broken hearts, the laughter, the smell of a certain food that brings back someone you loved, the endless asking of why. Only one medium can hold those things and set them off again in another person. That medium is art, made by artists out of lives they have actually lived.

So we decided our children would grow up with original art around them. Then we went looking. Everything at retail was beyond our budget. Auction houses had better prices, but the quality was varying and the information was thin. The barrier to entry is high, and it is high by design.

The original art market was built by and for the wealthiest people in our society. A child of the 1% is likely born into a home with original works on the walls, absorbing early the ideas, perspectives and stories that come from real human creation. Everyone else gets factory prints, run off by the thousands.

We built Unprompted to change that. It is a private gallery of original art with standard pricing across all work, lower than what a furniture store charges for a mass-produced print. Behind each piece is our proprietary catalogue database of the artist’s history and exhibition record.

How it works

01
We verify the canon

Every artist is checked against public museum records. The number beside a name counts museums that own and keep work by that artist — not this particular sheet. It carries a plus sign because our coverage of American museums is deep and our coverage of Europe is still growing, so the figure is a floor rather than a total.

02
We document the work

Each piece is photographed, measured and researched before it is offered. Medium, edition, signature, inscriptions and condition are recorded, along with the documents that came with the work, and we say plainly when something is unconfirmed.

03
We ship it documented

Your work arrives tracked, in archival packaging, with a Certificate of Human Origin, the written disclosure required for multiples, and a 14-day viewing period.
