Sargent at Harvard Sargent at Harvard is a web site with a searchable database of nearly 1,300 paintings, drawings, and sketchbooks by John Singer Sargent (1856 - 1925) housed in the Fogg Art Museum and the Harvard University Portrait Collection. The database can be searched in several ways: (1) by full-text search, (2) by keyword(s). Sargent at Harvard also includes sections devoted to the provenance of the Sargent material, the artist's murals at the Boston Public Library, and other public collections with works by Sargent.

The site was created in conjunction with the exhibition, Ben Shahn's New York: The Photography of Modern Times, which was on view at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum in early 2000 and updated in 2005.

It includes information for over 5,000 European paintings, drawings and sculpture from four departments at the Art Museums. Each object in the list of works meets the following criteria: it was acquired in or after 1933, it was made in or before 1945, and it might have been in areas of Europe occupied by the Nazis between those years. The main usefulness of this database is in its completeness. All of the objects in our permanent collections for which the issue of Nazi-era provenance is relevant are listed here. For more detailed information or questions, please contact us via email. Go to Provenance Research Visual Information Access (VIA) The Visual Information Access (VIA) system is a union catalog of visual resources at Harvard. It includes information about slides, photographs, objects, and artifacts in the University's libraries, museums, and archives. This system represents the first phase of an ongoing effort that facilitates cross-repository research. Institutional participants include the Harvard College Fine Arts Library's Visual Collections Department, the Visual Resources department of the Harvard Design School's Loeb Library, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study's Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, and several others. Each of the participating image repositories has contributed records to VIA reflecting portions of their visual collections to varying degrees. Go to VIA |
