COLLECT24 ART ID
A permanent ID for every artwork.
Books have an ISBN. Research papers have a DOI. Artworks have a C24 ID — a permanent, resolvable identifier for a single work of art.

Check first. Register if necessary — so a single artwork never ends up with two identities.

Beyond your own collection, Collect24 is the world's most complete record of art: one permanent record per artwork, connecting works held by museums, galleries, foundations, artists and private collectors — so art stays discoverable wherever it is, while ownership remains private.
Every artwork belongs to a collection. Ownership and location may change over time; the artwork itself does not.
