Delete an artist

Removes an artist from the roster. Any artworks keep their catalogue entry with the maker cleared; the artist's show lineups, images, and documents are removed. To combine duplicate makers instead, use merge.

Path Parameters

id*string

Query Parameters

dry_run?boolean

Preview this operation without committing it. When true, the request is authenticated, scoped, and validated, but no side effect runs — no write, no idempotency claim, no audit event, no outbound delivery. The response is HTTP 200 with an X-Dry-Run: true header and a body of { "dry_run": true }, plus an effect object describing what the real call would change when this operation can resolve one.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Optional. Send a unique key per logical operation to make retries safe: a retry with the same key replays the stored success for 14 days instead of re-running the write. Reusing a key with a different body returns 400.

Create an artist POST

Adds an artist to the gallery's roster — the deliberate alternative to the silent mint when a name is typed into the artwork form. `name` is required; the profile fields are optional. A duplicate name (case-insensitive) is rejected.

Get an artist GET

Get one of the gallery's artists by id.
