Artifex Digital Catalogues Raisonnés for Arts Schools
Check out Amigos Library Services partner, Artifex Press, a publisher of digital catalogues raisonnés. They have developed a proprietary, patented software platform and a dedicated research and publishing program in order to produce, edit, and distribute these seminal publications. Their approach combines the rigors of art-historical research with the flexibility of digital publishing.
This enables them to conceive of a publication schedule that fits the particular needs of a given artist, and to create an online catalogue raisonné that is more accessible, more flexible, and above all, more accurate and up-to-date than the traditional printed counterpart.
Artifex Press has produced the only catalogues raisonnés for the artists listed below:
