Cella

Cella connects art, people, and places.

An artist’s work, a gallery’s collection, a visitor’s discovery. Cella connects them through public artwork pages and workspaces for the people who create, collect, exhibit, and care for art.

About early access

The artwork is the connection.

A gallery shows the work. An artist gives it context. A visitor finds something worth keeping. On Cella, you can follow those connections instead of starting another search.

Gallery DeFi is the working test site for Cella’s gallery tools, not a paid case study.

  3. Archive photograph

    Camera date, not independently verified:

    An archive photograph documents the painted wall. The camera file carries October 19, 2015 as its capture date. That date has not been independently verified. This photograph does not establish the work’s condition today.

  4. Condition updated

    Added to Cella:

    Reported removed

    The accepted June 15, 2026 condition report describes demolition of the painted wall for garage doors. The current record has been reconciled with that report. The original painted_over category is retained with the original submission; no accepted evidence was rewritten. The exact removal date remains unknown.

    Record reconciliation using preservation report 4 and accepted contribution 6, reviewed June 15, 2026. Not a new observation or a new review.
