The workshop

This workshop is a collaboration between the Provenance Lab and the Getty Provenance Index.

After decades working as provenance and art history researchers, we have witnessed the field changing and evolving in many different ways. We believe that the intersection between computational techniques and provenance studies can not only reveal patterns, structures, and dynamics that were hard to uncover through close reading, but also lead us to new research questions that were previously impossible to answer or to know.

Our aim with this workshop is to equip researchers and practitioners with concrete skills and to introduce them to methodologies that can inspire new policies, practices, and analytical approaches within their institutions or individual research projects. We believe that interdisciplinary collaboration, between art historians, provenance researchers, museum professionals, computer scientists, and digital humanities specialists, is essential. However, for these collaborations to be fair, productive, and balanced, all participants need a shared understanding of what is possible, how different methods work, and what their limitations are.

This workshop is designed as a first encounter with key theories, methods, techniques, and tools. Our goal is to open a conversation, spark critical thinking, and lay the groundwork for a collaborative effort that will continue to grow beyond these sessions.
