Our Mission
Cahiers d’Art Institute (CDAI) is a 501c3, U.S. nonprofit organization founded by the art publisher Cahiers d’Art, known for its historical, multivolume catalogue raisonné of Picasso as well as newly published catalogues raisonnés of Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Gehry and its famed journal, La Revue.
Artifex Press, founded in 2009 as one of the first publishers of digital catalogues raisonnés, is now a part of Cahiers d’Art Institute.
CDAI helps contemporary artists and architects to archive their work and related materials and to create scholarly catalogues that promote and preserve their legacies.
We are committed to sharing this information with a broad public. We aim to inspire future generations and bring artistic resources to communities without access to museums and other arts venues.
We plan to expand access to our cataloguing and publishing resources to emerging and underrepresented artists and those without institutional support.
Moving forward, our goal is to promote the creation of artist archives and catalogues in both digital and book form, and to develop hybrid publishing models that combine the best features of online and book publishing.
