Art Authority is a company specializing in the production of fine-art reproductions catering to both art museums and consumers. The company originated from an art education app initially developed for macOS and iOS. The app presents art pieces within a virtual museum interface. It is designed for K–12 education and available on the iPad. Open Door Networks and Project A designed[when?] and manage the Art Authority app.[citation needed]
The app includes a database of 100,000 works of art, over 1,500 artists, and over 1000 museums and other art locations, and is used by apps such as Art Alert and the Art Channel on Apple TV.[1]
The app was upgraded for the retina display concurrently with the release of the 3rd-generation iPad.[2] Exploring Art with Art Authority, an e-book companion to the app, was introduced on April 18, 2012.[citation needed]
A partnership with Bridgeman Art Library, which enabled users to order reproductions of works from the app, was announced on May 30, 2012. It was implemented as Prints on Demand on September 25, 2012.[citation needed]
Access to videos for many of the app's major works was added in December 2013.[3]
