Exploration of Past Project Work and Possible Entities<\/h3>\n

Having started Matt Miller\u2019s Program for Cultural Heritage class, I looked at a few of the past museum and art-focused projects done by students in the class to get some ideas. One interesting project was Carlos Acevedo\u2019s DBO: Influence<\/a>\u00a0project focused on the influence property in DBpedia\u2019s ontology as relates to contemporary artists. I wasn\u2019t able to access Carlos\u2019 final csv file or the visualizations he created in Gephi, but exploring a relationship property like influence seems interesting. I noticed Wikidata has \u201cstudent of\u201d, \u201ceducated at\u201d, and \u201cnotable work\u201d properties for some artists, for instance.<\/p>\n

Another Program for Cultural Heritage project I looked at was Analyzing Modernism: Modern and Contemporary Painting and Sculpture at The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>. This project seems to have strictly used data from the Met\u2019s collection site, but it has some interesting ideas for how to visualize collection data. Tableau and TimelineJS might be tools to explore in more depth at some point.<\/p>\n

In order to narrow down some possible entities to focus on from the Whitney\u2019s founding collection, I began browsing in TMS to see where objects in the collection were purchased from. Many objects in the Whitney\u2019s founding collection were purchased directly from their creators, but I did find the names of some dealers and organizations, including:<\/p>\n

The Cosmopolitan Club:\u00a0A private all-women\u2019s social club on the Upper East Side<\/p>\n

(https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cosmopolitan_Club_(New_York)<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Ferargil Galleries:\u00a0A commercial art gallery, run from 1915-1955 by Fredric Newlin Price. They dealt mostly American art (http:\/\/www.aaa.si.edu\/collections\/ferargil-galleries-records-8905<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The Whitney Studio Club:\u00a0the antecedent to the Whitney Museum (http:\/\/cdm16694.contentdm.oclc.org\/cdm\/landingpage\/collection\/p15405coll1<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Roman Bronze Works:\u00a0A bronze factory in Corona, Queens that was the country\u2019s leading art foundry during the American Renaissance. (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roman_Bronze_Works<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Marnie Sterner Fine Arts\u00a0(http:\/\/www.aaa.si.edu\/collections\/marie-sterner-and-marie-sterner-gallery-papers-9479<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Daniel Chester French:\u00a0An artist with work in the founding collection, known for his Lincoln Memorial statue. I was interested to read in the notes field for one of his pieces in TMS that his studios were located on McDougal Alley, fairly close to the current location of the Whitney.<\/p>\n

C.W. Kraushaar Art Galleries:\u00a0Still in existence today, was founded in 1885. Kraushaar Galleries sold many early Whitney collection items, including Charles Demuth\u2019s \u201cMy Egypt\u201d<\/p>\n
