PARIS, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the world begins to take stock of the unprecedented volume of art destroyed in the fires that are ravaging Los Angeles, Artprice by Artmarket.com and its CEO/founder thierry Ehrmann wish to express their sympathy and solidarity with all those affected by this major catastrophe.

The damage caused by the fires that have raged for many days goes way beyond the material, and while we all naturally regret the loss of life and the destruction of whole neighborhoods, as art market professionals, we are shocked by the news of the scale of cultural and patrimonial destruction that has also occurred, and is ongoing.

Wildfires in Greater Los Angeles

Wildfires in Greater Los Angeles, Artprice deplores an inestimable loss for the world’s artistic heritage

Indeed, as we write, millions of artworks have either gone up in smoke or are at risk of doing so. Hundreds of contemporary artists have lost their entire life’s work as their studios have been burnt to the ground and many first-rate historical art collections have been completely decimated, leaving a very substantial hole in our collective global heritage.

Christopher Wise, vice-president of Risk Strategies, told ARTnews : “tons of art has been destroyed. In value terms we are talking many billions of dollars”.

As art world professionals, collectors, and insurance companies try to evaluate losses directly resulting from the wildfires in California, Artprice by Artmarket has recently been handling numerous searches and valuation requests. As World Leader in Art Market Information, Artprice by Artmarket holds and offers the most comprehensive data available, and is therefore not surprised to see a +450% increase in traffic to our website.

When it comes to getting the true price of Art, access to data from 861,000 artists and nearly 30 million sales results and Artprice indices, with the contribution of the proprietary AI Intuitive Artmarket® now deployed in Premium mode, makes it possible to speed up procedures with insurance companies with the certainty of the price of the work destroyed in the tragedy of the Los Angeles fires.

As the news emerges, we are both shocked and saddened to discover one of the biggest cultural losses that humanity has ever suffered, comparable to very few other historical events, such as the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Countless unique works will now only exist through photos that were taken for art history books and databases, including those of Artprice.

“Our mission since 1987, beyond analyzing, producing and providing in complete transparency the prices of the Art Market, is to map the circulation of works across the centuries and on five continents.” says thierry Ehrmann, president  of Artmarket.com and founder of Artprice. “We are unfortunately witnessing a truly historic disaster and we wish to express our sympathy and support for all those affected by these fires and particularly for the artists and collectors who are today losing their – and in many cases, some of humanity’s – most precious possessions.

“Artprice takes this opportunity to restate its role as one of the new guardians of global artistic memory by recording and tracking all artworks as they pass through auctions all over the world. We will naturally do everything we can to help those impacted by very heavy losses and to assist the broader Art Market in integrating the new reality into its day-to-day activities after the destruction of so many masterpieces.

We have mobilized our teams and experts to respond to searches and valuation requests to the best of our abilities. We are also opening access to our documentary collection of manuscripts and paper sales catalogs, from 1700 to the present day, with more than 180 million artworks listed and annotated by our art historians.”

Support is pouring in from around the world to help L.A., where arts culture is omnipresent. This New York Times article by Robin Pogrebin attests to the outpouring of generosity that is being organized:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/arts/design/california-fires-la-artists.html

Major museums like the Getty and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, along with philanthropists like Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar and foundations like Steven Spielberg’s, have raised $12 million for a fund to support the artists affected by the California wildfires.

Among the organizations that have chipped in are the filmmaker George Lucas’s Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation; Spielberg’s and Kate Capshaw’s Hearthland Foundation; the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and the A&L Berg Foundation.

Two of the world’s largest galleries have contributed: Gagosian and Hauser & Wirth.

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), (“HOLO” or the “Company”), a technology service provider, with its strong technological foundation and spirit of innovation, has introduced a groundbreaking quantum bit rotation-based single-ternary quantum homomorphic encryption (QHE) protocol.

Traditional encryption methods often reveal security vulnerabilities and limitations in flexibility when dealing with the complex and ever-changing scenarios of big data. However, HOLO’s QHE protocol takes a novel approach by introducing the sophisticated mechanism of quantum bit rotation. Quantum bits, as the fundamental units of quantum information, bring a fresh vitality to the field of encryption through their unique properties of superposition and entanglement. Under this protocol, users cleverly use classical angles as the key for QHE, greatly simplifying key management processes and lowering the operational threshold for users. More importantly, the encryption and decryption processes are freed from the strict sequential constraints of traditional encryption methods, achieving unprecedented flexibility. Whether it’s real-time encrypted transmission of massive amounts of data or asynchronous encryption operations in complex distributed systems, the QHE protocol can handle these tasks with ease, providing a robust security defense throughout the entire data flow process.

Taking the e-commerce sector as an example, the massive data generated by users during activities such as browsing products, adding items to the shopping cart, and placing orders for payment, can be encrypted using the QHE protocol. Even during complex network transmissions and multi-node storage processes, it ensures that user behavior and personal information remain private and secure. Similarly, businesses can use the QHE protocol to achieve efficient and secure encryption protection for sensitive commercial data, such as new product development materials and customer relationship data, effectively guarding against external hacker attacks and internal data leakage risks.

Moreover, HOLO has not stopped at the innovation of the QHE protocol. Based on deep insights into privacy query needs, it has further proposed the Quantum Privacy Query (QPQ) protocol. In the crucial data query process, traditional solutions often face a dilemma: either sacrificing privacy to pursue query efficiency or overemphasizing privacy protection, which leads to slow query responses. HOLO’s QPQ protocol breaks this deadlock.

This protocol innovatively uses homomorphic encryption to send query requests, essentially cloaking the query information with an invisible shield, making it difficult to intercept and crack during transmission. Even more ingenious is that, after just one round of communication with an oracle machine independent of the database, accurate results can be obtained. This process significantly shortens query waiting times and enhances the overall system response efficiency. In the context of healthcare big data, when researchers conduct specific condition-related queries on vast amounts of patient medical records, the QPQ protocol not only ensures patient privacy is protected but also delivers precise results quickly, accelerating medical research. Similarly, financial institutions conducting credit risk assessments on massive amounts of user credit data can rely on the QPQ protocol to efficiently make decisions while ensuring data privacy, thereby enhancing business operational efficiency.

HOLO’s series of protocol innovations represent not only a breakthrough at the technical level but also pave the way for the development of quantum privacy protection. HOLO will continue to focus on the intersection of quantum technology and privacy protection, constantly optimizing existing protocols, expanding application boundaries, and collaborating with partners from all sectors to meet the new challenges of privacy protection in the big data era, unlocking limitless possibilities for data-driven innovation.
