Art Provenance Research

IFAR is a nonprofit educational and research organization dedicated to integrity in the visual arts. Catalogues raisonnés are integral to IFAR’s educational and research mission, and its online Catalogues Raisonnés Database, launched in 2008 stems from that mission. The continuously updated Catalogues Raisonnés Database features detailed and annotated bibliographic information as well as links to additional resources regarding more than 4,000 published catalogues raisonnés and approximately 350 catalogues-in-preparation concerning close to 3,000 artists. The published catalogues and those in preparation can be searched separately or together – by the author’s name, or by the artist’s name, place of birth or death, or period of activity.

An online edition of The Print Council Index to Oeuvre-Catalogues of Prints by European and American Artists by Timothy A. Riggs, expanded and updated by Lauren B. Hewes and Nicole Simpson. The database contains entries for European and American prints, print publishers, drawings, and photographs; and Japanese prints and photographs.
