COLLECTOR RESOURCESCONTACT SPECIALIST THE ART GENOME PROJECT The Art Genome Project is the classification system and technological framework that powers Artsy. It maps the characteristics (we call them “genes”) that connect artists, artworks, architecture, and design objects across history. There are currently over 1,000 characteristics in The Art Genome Project, including art historical movements, subject matter, and formal qualities. MAPPING THE WORLD'S ART Works are given a set of characteristics In the process we refer to as “genoming,” our team of art historians and experts assign works various characteristics. The result is endless opportunities for discovery and learning, connecting works being made today to works with similar attributes, including art made decades or even hundreds of years ago. A SYSTEM FOR DISCOVERY Characteristics are used to connect works by subject, style, and movement CHILDHOOD RECLINING STOLEN MOMENTS Mary Cassatt Little Girl in a Blue Armchair, 1878 National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
