About

The art world, on the record.

WattsOS is the canonical record of visual culture — a structured, source-verified database of artists, artworks, exhibitions, and institutions. Every fact is traced to its origin, scored by source authority, and preserved with full provenance.

We serve galleries, auction houses, museums, law firms, insurers, publishers, and AI platforms — anyone whose decisions depend on knowing what is true about the art world, and where that truth came from.
