"I don't seek, I find." Picasso

Renato Zülli is student at the University of Art and Design in Lausanne, Switzerland. Within a special workshop week for his studies he got in contact with Artfacts.net and explained his particular plan: I visit Artfacts.net quite often. The idea of ranking all the artists of the world in order of their success and activities is really interesting. I wanted to know more about how this system works. On the top 100 list I saw that Pablo is ranked second right after Andy Warhol, the Top 1. In fact the points difference isn't very big between the first and the second. So my plan is to push Picasso to the top. On Artfacts.net there is a function where you can report missing solo or group exhibitions. Every new added exhibition increases the point score of the artist. I occupied myself the last 4 days finding the missing Picasso exhibitions. In this first week I found 31 missing entries. My research will go on until I achieve my goal. I guess it will take me more time than i thought because the database of Artfacts.net is quite complete. Maybe it's not realistic at all, but I try. The main motivation for my project is the act itself. I make a contribution.
