The Challenge

Why a Council

Dormant holdings of immense art-historical value face an existential challenge.

The preservation of cultural heritage in Concrete, Constructive, and Minimalist printmaking requires a structural, non-commercial response. Artist estates, foundations, and printing workshops hold collections of immense research value — yet lack the means for systematic digital archiving and documentation.

Commercial platforms are ill-suited for this task: their cost structures, incentive models, and lack of scholarly rigour exclude large parts of the relevant holdings from visibility.

As an association, Square Index operates without profit motive — structured as a council around the mission of archiving, research, information, preservation, and distribution on a digital basis.

Square Index fills this gap.

The Approach

01

Archiving & Research

A purist digital platform serving as central inventory and scientific documentation centre. Systematic cataloging of edition holdings with full provenance, technical, and contextual data — secured and made publicly accessible.

02

Information & Distribution

A living showcase through which selected holdings are documented and mediated. By consolidating scattered archives, the council creates a critical mass of information — significantly increasing the visibility of Constructive art for collectors and researchers.

03

Preservation & Access

Active advocacy for the long-term preservation of works and their contextual knowledge. The council supports participation in art fairs and exhibition formats — uniting documentation, conservation, and public access under one non-commercial roof.

Structure without excess.
Knowledge without ambiguity.

Square Index is founded and operated by a group of independent non-figurative editors and publishers. We apply the same formal principles to the organisation of information that the artists we document applied to form: no excess, no ambiguity — only what is necessary, executed with precision and lasting intent.

Clarity.
Objectivity.
Formal reduction.
