Motivation edit

This additional Wikidata property for Database of Modern Exhibitions (DoME) (Q85217215) would allow a better coverage of arts (Q2018526).
Identifying artists, and exhibition places ('location') through exhibition records has the quality of a reliable authority control.
As exhibitions are fundamental to the discourse in Modern Art, making them searchable with DoME enables new possibilities for research and analytics.
We are documenting solo- and group-exhibitions of modern European drawings and paintings at exhibition venues (galleries, museums, non-profit) with all participating artists and catalog entries from 1905 to 1915.
Our sources are exhibition catalogs. The interactive exhibition histories show the relational structure and profiles of artists, and exhibition venues alike.
The database was started 2017 and first published on the Internet in 2019. You find as of March 25, 2020: 13.271 artists (8.325 matched to Wikidata items), 304 venues in 100 cities, 1.380 exhibitions with 204.626 catalogue entries.
Access to the site is free and information can be downloaded without registration or charges.
