The reference library for twentieth-century art
Thousands of pages from rare works.
One search is all it takes.
GargantuArt digitizes, indexes and opens up a unique collection of historical documentation. A name, a manufactory, a motif: the exact page, within seconds.
And the collection grows every week.
GargantuArt was born from a simple observation: most of the knowledge on twentieth-century art sleeps in bound volumes, scattered and never indexed. We digitize them page by page and make them searchable, so that knowledge becomes accessible again to researchers, collectors and art-market professionals.
The method
From bound volume to the exact page
Digitized
Every volume is digitized page by page, in high definition, from identified collections and recognized publications.
Indexed
The text of every page is extracted and indexed: every name, every manufactory, every notion becomes searchable.
Found
One search takes you straight to the exact page, with no more leafing through entire volumes.
