Benezit include entries on obscure artists, historic auction records, and over 11,000 images of artists’ signatures, monograms, and stamps of sale. Benezit is continually updated, with a special focus on contemporary artists with current or recent exhibitions. Updates aslo reflect new scholarship, with new articles and images, revised articles, additions to bibliographies, and corrections.
