Linked.Art for Researchers #16
Description
The history of artworks is linked. They were produced by the same artists, exhibited by the same galleries and museums, traded by the same dealers or collected by the same people while eventually finding their permanent home in the same museums—or not. To date, these cross-institutional links are only visible to a few scholars or experts specifically studying the artworks’ exhibition or ownership history. Thus this valuable information harvested through time-consuming and resource-intensive research cannot be widely (re)used for scholarly questions.
