Artwork Catalogue and Sales Record

A free printable artwork inventory — title, medium, size, photograph reference, asking price, where it was shown, what it sold for and to whom.

First page of the Artwork Catalogue and Sales Record — Keep a catalogue of finished work and where it went, which is the record galleries, insurers and tax authorities ask for and working artists rarely have.

What this sheet is for

Keep a catalogue of finished work and where it went, which is the record galleries, insurers and tax authorities ask for and working artists rarely have.

Who it is for

Painters, printmakers, ceramicists, sculptors and makers who sell — from one show a year upward.

How to use it

  1. Number every piece and put the number on the back of the work as well as here.
  2. Photograph everything before it leaves; you will not get another chance.
  3. Record consignments in the same table — work out on loan is the easiest thing to lose track of.
  4. Note the buyer where you can. People who bought once buy again.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Does it help me price my work?

No. It records the prices you set and what you achieved, and suggests nothing. Pricing depends on your market, your history and your costs; what this sheet gives you is your own record of what actually sold and for how much.
