A few weeks ago I posted that I had published my catalog raisonné as an open dataset on Hugging Face. It has now been downloaded over 5,400 times. I am a figurative painter. I am not a developer. I do not know what most of you are doing with it, and I would genuinely like to know. For those who missed the first post: roughly 3,000 to 4,000 documented works, the human figure as sustained subject across five decades, oil on canvas, works on paper, drawings, etchings, lithographs, and digital works. CC-BY-NC-4.0, artist-controlled, full provenance metadata. My total output is approximately double what is currently published and I am adding to it continuously. It is a living record, not a monument. If you fine-tune on it — post the results. I want to see what fifty years of a single figurative practice produces when a model trains on it. If you are a researcher — the dataset is citable. It is one of the few fine art datasets of this scale that is properly licensed, published with artist consent, and carries full metadata. If you find errors in the metadata — please flag them. I built this myself. Title, date, and medium corrections are welcome.
