REMINDER: The event data API endpoint will be sunset on 23 April 2026. We're shifting our focus toward strengthening connections between research outputs, like the recent launch of a new data citation API endpoint (beta). https://doi.org/10.64000/rzbn5-wjy58
A painting can move institutions. A website can change its address. The scholarship tied to a work remains discoverable and accessible with a Crossref DOI. We're glad to see more museums recognizing this.
Happy World Art Day! 🎨
Alt text: Poster titled “World Art Day 2026.” A single artwork by Édouard Vuillard, *The Large Fisherwoman at Low Tide* (1909), is shown: a coastal scene with sandy shore and rocks, a figure carrying a basket in the foreground, and small buildings on a grassy rise in the distance. Caption details medium and dimensions. At the bottom is DOI “10.37764/78973.5.742” and a Crossref logo.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City: Two catalogues have Crossref DOIs. French Paintings & Pastels, 1600–1945 includes records + curatorial, conservation, and provenance (Vuillard, 1909). Starr Collection of Portrait Miniatures does the same (Peale, ca. 1835) → doi.org/10.37764/78973.5.742
Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York – The Modern Art Index Project documents the collectors, dealers, and institutions that shaped Cubism, with Crossref DOIs. Example: Vincenc Kramář and his Picasso collection → doi.org/10.57011/JASI9957
Alt text: Poster titled “World Art Day 2026” with the subtitle “Making art research part of the scholarly record.” Two paintings by Armand Guillaumin are shown side by side: *Self-Portrait with Palette* (1878), depicting the artist turning toward the viewer, and *Portrait of a Young Woman* (1886), showing a seated woman in a dark dress.

#WorldArtDay (15 April, Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday) was established by the International Association of Art and later supported by #UNESCO to highlight art’s role in society. As Crossref members, museums make art #research citable and part of the #scholarly record 🧵 Here are three:
Did you know that you can access our entire dataset? But be warned, it's 223GB (And that's the compressed version). Explore, manipulate, add, and experiment with it https://doi.org/10.64000/7s70g-drz77
Data citations are already in Crossref #metadata, they've just been difficult to locate among millions of references. Our new data citation API endpoint (beta) makes these connections easier to find and track. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.64000/rzbn5-wjy58
