Abstract

Launched at the end of 2012, the catalogue raisonné of American Abstract Expressionist painter Jack Tworkov, represents a major effort in preserving and promoting the legacy of the artist. This article describes the collaboration between the Tworkov Estate and panopticon, the software engineers who have developed an innovative web-based content management system specifically designed to catalogue cultural objects. The result of that collaboration is the first free online catalogue raisonné available to the public.
