Planned useMix'n'match? (the 'bookmarkable links' do not contain the EK number, however...)
Motivation

Historically quite significant, right? Because the database uses eMuseum software, however, scraping it might be hard. See some explanation about the EK numbers - they are not really identifiers, but actual numbers assigned to the artworks during times of confiscation. Spinster 💬 20:27, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this should be approached like a catalog. The Entartete Kunst database is just one possible means to bring these artworks together. It's all about the numbers themselves, which were given to the artworks by the nazis, are often still physically present on the works, and I assume are also often mentioned in literature. More than being part of a neutral-ish catalog, these numbers are an intrinsically political part of an artwork's life and history. Having them as a separate property would make researching, querying and listing them easier than when we let this become buried in all the catalogs we already have, IMO.
