A catalog you can
trace to its sources.
The portable database contains every record in the current artist catalog, with linked sources, historical observations, reviewed claims, and visible research gaps.
What has been checked
258 field-level claims across 55 artists. All 3,365 records have a structural audit. These checks do not certify every field on a profile. Live platform monitoring is not active.
Artist images
2,369 of 3,365 artists have source-linked images. 996 still need an image. Each image retains its source, credit, and reuse terms; historical portraits and provider thumbnails are identified in the export. These matches have not all been individually reviewed by eye.
