Setting the new standard for art research.

1. ARTWORK TIMELINE

Catalogue Raisonné, auction prices, exhibition history:
All in one place with the artwork timeline.

Starting in 2016, over the course of five years, we meticulously digitised and reorganised hundreds of catalogues raisonnés, important monographs and exhibition catalogues of the world's most visible artists to bring what is generally referred to as a "price database" into the 21st Century.

Welcome to the future of online, aggregated and always in itself updating catalogues raisonnés.

2. SEARCH

Elevate your curatorial practice onto another level.

Deepen your knowledge and capabilities with an agnostic search functionality that goes beyond an artist's name or an auction house. Search entire private collections, past important exhibitions or a specific material for an overview of art historic exceptionalism that is second to none.

3. IMAGE RECOGNITION

In a visual world you need visual search.

In an increasingly globalised world of different cultures and identities visual language becomes as important for communication as the written word.
Search any artwork with an illustration of that work by taking a photo or uploading a JPEG to receive the artwork details within seconds.

4. EDITING

Take back control of art history authority.

Supplement catalogue raisonné data by adding a note, or view the comments and corrections submitted by a network of experts.
On Facture, you can interact with others and improve the accuracy of a specific catalogue raisonné entry, just by submitting a comment.
