Featured Artist lookup References

@daveydempsey
If you think it’s a good idea, could we pin some Artist look up sites?
Such as
http://www.findartinfo.com/english.html
http://www.askart.com/
http://www.artnet.com/
And if anyone had other suggestions, please add them.

 

Thank you.

 

Should change the title of the thread so people will know what the pinned sites are about.

 

Thank you! Done.

 

This site shows scans of illustrated books, which is helpful sometimes for identifying bookplates or prints made from them...

Google Books sometimes also displays whole books with illustrations...
https://books.google.com/

This Metropolitan Museum site is an interesting art reference...

The New York Public Library has a huge database of scanned visual material including prints, photographs, maps, etc. You can use it to research both artists and publishers...
https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/

American artists are listed on this site...
https://americanart.si.edu/art/artists

This site has signatures of some artists...
http://signetart.com/artist-signature-library/

 

I realize I posted sites that give you more than just info on artists, but also on art work. Should I have posted them in a new thread, or should we perhaps change the title of this thread to something like "Art and Artists Lookup Reference"?

 

The time is expired for me to Edit Title.

 

Maybe a moderator can still edit it?

 

Here is another resource

@daveydempsey or @Bookahtoo, if it’s not too involved, could you please change the Title to: Art and Artists Lookup Reference. ? Thank you,
Whatever you think best!

 

don't ya think that title may get way too broad..?
I say, leave the title...& if there's extra info posted here.....so be it !!

 

Ok left it up to mods to decide.

 

This website helped me a lot without multi-browsing dozens of websites. Its good for valuations of paintings and much more.

Www.YouValYou.com shows pictures and past auction results for well listed artists.

It works exactly like www.artnet.com or artprice.com but this one is for FREE!
