Mantrell

Press

Mantrell, House of Living Art, is an open registry of living artists and the galleries that show them. It lists individual artists and art galleries around the world, together with the links between them: which gallery represents which artist.

The registry is compiled from open data: Wikidata, OpenStreetMap, the collection data of the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and Tate, the Québec gallery dataset of AGAC, and facts read from the artists' and galleries' own websites. Every record shows its sources and the date they were read. Email addresses are never published, and anyone can ask for a record to be removed or corrected.

Artists, galleries and collectors can join with a free account, and artists and galleries can take over their own record. Mantrell charges no commission and states that it does not train AI on artists' work. Its stated aim is to become the place where artists' work is seen, ranked by what it has earned and bought directly from those who make and show it.
