Artwork Record Form
The Artworks record is the main form in the GI Artworks Collection Database software, and where detailed information about each artwork is stored, including the artwork's Artist, title, year, media, style, value, provenance, lending history. The Artwork image display panel provides the ability to link an unlimited number of artwork images of the artwork to the record. The ability to link multiple images allows for both the artwork's image and the verso to be visually recorded. You can link any number of images to as to record statues, or other multi-dimensional art forms, from every angle.
TThe main Artwork record Form also has a provision to record all aspects of an artwork's provenance and to link electronic documents (such as valuations or purchase receipts) relating to the artwork record. The Artwork collection software can retain a detailed history including of any exhibition history, consignment, or loan activity. The software is perfect for busy artists.
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 the found records to an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. The list view is excellent for quickly spotting data entry errors or inconsistencies that can be correct quickly, right in the list view. If required, you can even add new artwork records here.
Artwork Provenance
Provenance is arguably the most important aspect involved in 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 provides the ability to link and track electronic files, or webpages, with each artwork record. Once linked, files can be opened, copied, emailed, or shared directly from the artwork record.

Whilst viewing the artwork collection records view a zoomed-larger version of an artwork image by clicking the 'Zoom' button. The artwork image Zoom form provides three different options for viewing the work, including an 'Original' option that send the original link Artwork image to an external software image program. In the artwork zoom form, you can also print, or export to PDF, the Artwork Overview report or Artwork's summary report, both of which include an image of the artwork.
