Artist Monographs on artnet

    The link in a previous post to the oil paintings of Richard Estes was an opportunity to have a browse around the vast online resource that is artnet.
 
   The artnet Price Database Fine Art and Design is an illustrated online database of 4 million fine art and design auction results covering more than 188,000 international artists and designers. The artnet Price Database is a subscription-based service that allows users to search auction results dating back to 1985.

   The artnet Monographs library has been developed in close collaboration with artists, estates and galleries to provide comprehensive artist information. This body of Modern and Contemporary artists’ sites brings insight into the depth and scope of extraordinary artists oeuvres, and it serves as a research tool for students, faculty, museum curators, researchers, dealers and collectors.

   artnet Monographs present a growing body of artists’ online works. Unlike published print monographs and catalogues raisonnés, these are living catalogues, which will be constantly updated as artists create new works and estates release additional information. artnet offers these catalogues free to the public as an educational resource. Simply click on an individual artist's image to begin, and check back to browse new catalogues.


   There are sections covering Mixed Media, Paintings, Photography, Sculpture and 19th Century/Modern.
   You can access the Monographs here.
