The reference library
for twentieth-century art.
Thousands of rare works, brought together for the first time. Search for an artist, a decorator, a workshop: every page that mentions them shows up 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 scattered journals that were never indexed. Our goal is to bring them together. 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 the book 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: artists, decorators, workshops, events, nothing escapes you.
Found
One search takes you straight to the pages you care about, with no leafing through.
