Riverside Study, no. 4 - public record

Held in continuity

Everything an artwork carries, held in one place.

Cataloguing, documents, provenance, and movement remain connected to the work. PTAH keeps that history intact around the object instead of scattering it across tools.

One work holds one readable record.

A structured history

The work, unfolding over time.

Every loan, exhibition, transfer, and return sits in a single timeline. In PTAH, location and status are drawn from that sequence, so the current state stays clear and traceable.

The present is evidence, not a manual override.
