The author proves that all Artin groups of crystallographic type have a faithful representation of dimension the number of reflections of the associated Coxeter group. The faithfulness criterion which is used is that of \textit{D. Krammer} [Ann. Math. (2) 155, No. 1, 131-156 (2002; Zbl 1020.20025)].
