The database Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon Online / Artists of the World Online is the world's most contemporary, reliable and extensive reference work on artists. It contains authoritative, up-to-date biographical information on more than 1 million artists - more than any other database in the world! For the first time the database offers biographies in full text from A to Z.

The number of full-text biographies doubled, as did the number of articles appearing not only in German but also in the original language. Moreover, the database now offers articles "online first".

Several thousand art history sources are evaluated on an ongoing basis for the database, and the content is continually updated and expanded. The database provides a user-friendly interface with full-text search and multiple search criteria.
