The Irving Sandler Artists File

The Irving Sandler Artists File is a digitized image database and slide registry that is open to the public free-of-charge, and is regularly used by curators, artists, gallery owners, collectors, consultants, and students to discover the work of visual artists. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive artist registries in the country. With the launch of this newly revised website in the Spring of 2006, the Artists File exists solely on the internet - the new database allows artists to include 12 images, statement and resume in their online portfolio, and has rendered the hard files obselete.

There is no fee to join or view the Artists File, and users of the File contact the artists directly. Artists are encouraged to update their materials at least once every year, and an artist’s online file that has not been updated in two years will automatically* be removed and made inactive. (*A warning email will be sent 1 month prior to this date)

For more information, visit the Irving Sandler Artists File webpage.
