Collecting and Provenance Research

The Project for the Study of Collecting and Provenance (PSCP) aligns the Getty
Research Institute's collections and the expertise of its staff with the work of
scholars interested in the history of collecting, provenance, art markets, and
display around the world.

At the heart of its operations is the Getty Provenance Index®, which currently
contains more than 2.3 million records taken from source material such as
archival inventories, auction catalogs, and dealer stock books. Other resources
are available through the Getty Provenance Index: Additional Databases

WHAT DOES PROVENANCE MEAN?

From the French word provenir, which means "to come from," provenance is the
history of ownership of a valued object, such as a work of art. A full
provenance provides a documented history that can help prove ownership, assign
the work to a known artist, and establish the work of art's authenticity. See an
example of how the Provenance Index was used to trace the ownership of Peter
Paul Rubens's The Entombment now owned by the J. Paul Getty Museum.
