Gaps & anomalies

Artists famous on Wikipedia but sparsely connected in Getty; asymmetric mentorship pairs; Met-collected artists missing from Getty's graph.

2026-05-11T18:01:22+00:00

Two analyses surfacing where Getty's data is likely incomplete.

Section A — Famous on Wikipedia, sparse in Getty

Limited to artists with Getty degree between 3 and 15 — i.e. Getty has them, but only thinly. Score is log₁₀(avg_recent_monthly_views) − 1.5·log₁₀(getty_degree+1). High score = high Wikipedia readership relative to Getty connectivity. These are the strongest candidates for missing Getty relationships.

Section B — Asymmetric mentorship pairs

Getty stores mentorship in both directions (e.g. teacher of ↔ student of). One-directional records are likely data gaps.

Relationship pair Forward edges Reverse edges Both present Missing reverse Missing forward
teacher of ↔ student of 33216 33216 33216 0 0
master of ↔ master was 66 66 66 0 0
apprentice of ↔ apprentice was 414 414 414 0 0

All mentorship relationships are perfectly reciprocated — Getty's data quality is clean here.

Section C — Met-collected but Getty-isolated

Artists with Met holdings but very low Getty connectivity (degree ≤ 3). Significant enough for the Met to collect, but Getty hasn't linked them into the social graph.
