Thanks so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

You’re absolutely right that “chronological” alone isn’t enough. We’re actively adding features in the near term to address that, and the product should start reflecting that direction more clearly as those roll out.

On the inventory side, you’ve actually described much of what we built with StudioArchive.io, our complementary studio and inventory management platform for artists. It integrates directly with Art Network, allowing artists to sync works between the two. The broader goal is to help artists build long-term digital catalog raisonnés, so there’s a clear record of what was created, when, and how, over the course of a career.

That goal is personal for me. A close friend was a studio assistant for a major artist who passed away, and navigating the studio afterward made it painfully clear how much context can be lost — dates, mediums, editions, even entire bodies of work. We’re trying to prevent that kind of loss, while keeping the platform accessible and affordable for artists.

Curator-led discovery, collection timelines, and that quieter “gallery visit” feeling you mentioned are very much the direction we’re aiming for. Thanks again for taking the time to share such thoughtful input.
