Fund the art history no one has written yet
Own a painting by an artist the record forgot? Pool a bounty with other collectors and pay art historians for a sourced biography — provenance that makes the work worth more.
Free to use — the site takes a 20% success fee only when research is accepted.
1
Post & pledge
Describe the artist you own work by, what you want to learn, and pledge toward the pot. Your card is saved but charged nothing.
2
Researchers dig
Historians and archivists coordinate publicly on the artist's page, then submit sourced findings. Bigger pooled pots attract more expertise.
3
Approve & publish
You review the research before paying. Approved work is charged, researchers receive 80%, and the biography is published for everyone.
