I recently published my catalog raisonne as an open dataset on Hugging Face.<\/p>\n<p>What is in it:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2219 Roughly 3,000 to 4,000 documented works currently, spanning 1970s to present \u2219 Media includes oil on canvas, works on paper, drawings, etchings, lithographs, and digital works \u2219 Metadata fields: catalog number, title, year, medium, dimensions, collection, copyright holder, license, view type \u2219 Images derived from 4x5 large format transparencies, medium format slides, and high resolution photography \u2219 License: CC-BY-NC-4.0, free for research and non-commercial use <\/code><\/pre>\n<p>What makes it unusual:<\/p>\n<p>Most fine art image datasets are scraped, aggregated, or institutionally compiled. This one is published directly by the artist, with metadata mapped from original physical archive records accumulated over fifty years. Every work is fully documented and provenance is intact. It is artist-controlled from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p>The dataset currently represents roughly half my total output. I will keep adding works as scanning continues. It is a living dataset, not a static dump.<\/p>\n<p>It has had over 2,500 downloads in its first week on Hugging Face.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for:<\/p>\n<p>Researchers or developers working with art image datasets who want to discuss potential uses or collaborations. Also interested in connecting with anyone building tools for visual archive navigation, as the Hugging Face default viewer is not adequate for this kind of dataset.<\/p>\n<p>Dataset: huggingface.co\/datasets\/Hafftka\/michael-hafftka-catalog-raisonne<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/hafftka\"> \/u\/hafftka <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1s0c0m8\/dataset_50year_singleartist_fine_art_archive_with\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1s0c0m8\/dataset_50year_singleartist_fine_art_archive_with\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-39843 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='39843' data-nonce='72e055e984' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-39843 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-39843 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a figurative artist based in New York with work in the collections of the Metropolitan&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datatards","wpcat-85-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39843\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
