Art Sales Catalogues Online
The Art Sales Catalogues Project Based on Frits Lugt's Répertoire des Catalogues de Ventes Publiques intéressant l'Art ou la Curiosité. The Art Sales Catalogues Online database presents the online edition of the Répetoire des Catalogues de Ventes Publiques by Frits Lugt combined with the possibility to view complete art sales catalogues. This database provides a multitude of search options. Many recently discovered catalogues have been added and corrections to the original Répertoire have been made. A rich source for art historians Frits Lugt (1884-1970) Frits Lugt was both an art collector and an eminent scholar. He received his early training at the well known Amsterdam auction house of Frederik Muller (1911-1915). After leaving the auction house he started publishing. He compiled catalogues on Dutch and Flemish drawings of the Louvre, the Bibliothèque National and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1921, Lugt published Les marques de collections des dessins et de stamps, an invaluable reference work presenting marks of collectors and their biographies. [Fondation Custodia has published in 2010 an open access database based on this reference work at www.marquesdecollections.fr]. |
During his time at the auction house of Frederik Muller, Lugt's main occupation was compiling auction catalogues. This may have been the reason why he later put together the Répertoire des catalogues de ventes publiques intéressant l'art ou la curiosité, a finding aid for art sales catalogues from the period 1600 to 1925. This immense work in 4 volumes appeared between 1938 and 1987 (volume 4 appeared after his death). It lists more than 100.000 auction catalogues. The basis for this index was his own collection of auction catalogues which he later donated to the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History in the Hague. |

The Répertoire For some decades now, the Répertoire des Catalogues de Ventes Publiques by Frits Lugt has been one of the most widely consulted art historical reference works. In four volumes covering the period 1600 to 1925, Lugt lists more than 100,000 art sales catalogues from libraries in Europe and the USA. He not only describes the collections of the larger libraries, such as the Paris Bibliothèque de l'Art et de l'Arché, but also catalogues the contents of minor collections. In the Répertoire, all catalogues are arranged in strict chronological order, giving date, place, order or provenance of each property, type of sale (whether pictures, prints or objets d'art), number of lots, auctioneer, library in which the catalogue may be consulted and details of any annotations in the catalogue described (prices, names, additions, remarks). |

The Art Sales Catalogues database has over 65,000 records. Simple searching for example for a specific Lugt number, a place or a name is possible using the standard search option at the top of the screen. For more sophisticated searching an advanced search option is available that offers the possibility to combine different search criteria, for example a search for a specific place in combination with a defined period.
All catalogues have been OCR-ed. The quality of the OCR is relatively low, especially for the older catalogues, but is certainly an added value. Names of painters are often printed in capitals, giving a better OCR-result. Search results in the text are presented in a snippet of the OCR-ed text.
By default search results are sorted on the Lugt number. Sorting by Relevance is possible, which could be helpful in a full-text search.
