Signatures & Monograms

Art usually does not come with a bar code. At best, the artist signed the work in a legible hand, but often that is not the case. Artist John Castagno has conducted research in artists signatures for nearly 30 years. His numerous publications on artists signatures, monograms and other marks are essential references in most art libraries.

In addition to his books, his work is now available in an internet database.

Artists Signatures - A lifetime of research by John Castagno

Whether you have just one family heirloom to identify or regularly need to identify or confirm the signature, monogram, or mark on a work of art, John Castagno's Artists Signature database has an option suited for you or your institution.
