"I have only great things to say about Navigating.art. We started on another platform and switched mid-project, which can be complicated. I was impressed with Navigating.art’s initial presentation, where several team members did a step-by-step presentation of the platform, helping me to understand it quickly. Throughout the process, the team was right there and made adjustments efficiently. It’s that willingness to work with the client that makes a difference because every one of these projects has quirks. That’s been fantastic. It was a very positive experience right on through. We couldn’t be happier with how our catalogue raisonné turned out."

Prints & Multiples features works by the artist that he recorded as such.
Auction & Sales Catalogues
The Wildenstein Plattner Institute continually augments the Sales Catalogues Database and seeks to make its contents more accessible to the public. Over the next year, it will release an additional 2,000 sales catalogues from around the world. Our cataloguing specialists are creating bibliographic records of the collection using OCLC Connexion, so that the sales catalogues can be accessed through WorldCat. Ultimately, the Sales Catalogue Database will feature 30,000 sales catalogues and include full cataloguing information, making it a robust tool for provenance research.
