Artwork Collection Database Screenshots
Artwork Record Form
The Artworks record is at the core of the GI Artworks Collection Database software. This is where in-depth information about each artwork is meticulously stored, including the artist's name, artwork title, year of creation, medium used, provenance, lending history, cost, current value, and other pertinent details. To streamline the cataloging process, the Artwork image display panel allows users to associate any number of images with an artwork record, ensuring the inclusion of the primary image and any additional views or aspects of the artwork for visual documentation.
Moreover, the Artwork record enables users to document the complete provenance of an artwork, including the ability to link electronic documents such as valuations, purchase receipts, and other relevant information. This comprehensive Artwork collection software also offers the capacity to record a detailed exhibition history, the loan history of each artwork, and track works on consignment.
Artworks List View
Filter and find an artwork, or groups of artworks, based on virtually any filter criteria you can imagine. Once found, transfer the filter to the main Artwork Record form, or export located records to an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. The list view is excellent for quickly spotting data entry errors or inconsistencies which can be quickly corrected right there, in the list view. You can even add new artwork records.
Artwork Provenance
Provenance is arguably the most important aspect relied on when calculating the value of artworks. Documenting the history of artworks can include photographs, exhibition catalogs, newspaper articles, press releases, valuations, and much more. For this reason, the Artwork Collection database lets you link and track electronic files, and webpages with each artwork record. Once linked, files can be opened, copied, emailed, or shared directly from the artwork record.
Artwork Image Zoom View
To view a larger image of an artwork, click the 'Zoom' button to open the artwork image in the Zoom viewer. The Artwork Zoom view provides multiple viewing aspects. If required, you send the original artwork file to an external viewer to enabling editing of the image or other adjustment. The Zoom view also lets you print a summary or artwork overview report, or send the report to PDF for emailing or otherwise.
Import Your Artwork Data
The latest version of the Artwork collections database now lets you import your artwork collection from an Excel spreadsheet, saving you hours and hours of data entry time.

Use the Artworks Collection software's 'Catalogues' form to create, store, and publish 1000s of different artwork catalogues. To create a new catalogue, simply select the artworks to include from a drop-down list, order the works to your liking. The selected artworks can be from a single artist or several artists. Once satisfied with the catalogue selection and order, print the catalogue or export the catalogue as a PDF ready for emailing.

The Artworks Collection Catalogues, sub-form stores the text and image information that makes up the completed artwork catalogue. When creating new covers for artwork catalogs, users have the option to select one of the artworks being featured in the catalog or an entirely different image file on the PC, to feature on the catalogue cover. The cover information can be reviewed in the Catalogue Template Designer or by previewing any of the previously stored catalogues.
