Portfolio and archive
Look for coherent bodies of work, dates, media, installation views and a record that can be followed over time.
Topics
Artist Official Sites
Artist-owned portfolios, project archives, studio websites and direct sources for following a practice.
Editorial guide
Begin with the artist's own source.
An official website can connect works, exhibitions, writing, studio news and available editions without reducing an artist to social reach or market listings.
Ownership signals
Cross-check the domain with gallery, museum or clearly linked social profiles when the site offers little identifying context.
Commerce in context
A Shopify storefront can still be an artist's official site; the deciding factor is authorship and useful practice information, not the platform.
MarketplaceArtsy
