Introduction
The Frick Collection is an internationally recognized museum and research center, located in New York City. It is known for its distinguished Old Master paintings, and outstanding examples of European sculpture and decorative arts.
The Challenge
“The data around an asset is as important as the image itself. We looked at a lot of solutions, but didn’t find one that provided all the functionality we needed until we saw Xinet.”
-Luciano Johnson, Digital Preservation Librarian at The Frick Art Reference Library.
In many cases, the digital images that The Frick has are the only images in existence of certain works. The Frick needed an efficient, cost-effective way to track and preserve these rare images, and easily provide access to them for art historians, subject matter experts, and the public.
The Frick needed a single solution that would enable staff to easily upload assets, automate metadata, and rapidly find and create new versions of rare art images.
The Solution
“It’s really saving us significantly in staff time and budget.”
-Luciano Johnson, Digital Preservation Librarian at The Frick Art Reference Library
Xinet WebNative Suite is the only asset management system that combines a dynamic production workflow toolset with a powerful digital asset management framework. “Xinet has enabled us to automate manual tasks, like meta tagging and creation of alternate file types,” states Johnson. “It’s really saving us significantly in staff time and budget.”
