We build a digital archive for an entire body of art (artist’s, collector’s, gallery’s, or estate’s), and integrate it with a public or private website—so one custom system holds the online presentation, the private records and management tools. That integration saves years of double-entry work and the ongoing subscription costs of a separate archiving platform.

Custom artist archive website homepage: a public portfolio page presenting a painting full-width in a clean, browsable gallery layout.
Your archive’s public face is a custom portfolio website—built around your work, and as easy to browse as any artist’s website.
Artwork inventory manager in a digital art archive for bulk-editing many works at once—public, private and archival details for a painting on one edit screen.
Edit details for many works at once instead of one at a time—filtering first to exactly the set you want to change.
Searchable, sortable artwork inventory list in a digital art archive showing each work's ID, title, year, medium, availability and location at a glance.
See your whole archive at a glance: search, sort, and spot what’s sold, out on loan, or still missing information.
Visual artwork catalog with large sculpture thumbnails and checkboxes to filter by category and group works into private collections in a digital art archive.
Browse your work visually by category, then tick the pieces you want to edit or feature as a private page or pdf.
Private artist portfolio page of selected sculptures with a downloadable PDF catalog, built for the art archive of a gallery, collector, grant or proposal.
In minutes, turn that selection into a private page or PDF catalog—for a gallery, a collector, a proposal, or a grant.
Timeline of an artist's career, built into artist's website.
Tell your whole career story—a timeline built from your works, exhibitions and achievements, filtered by period or theme.

Each digital art archive can include:

    • Inventory management for exhibitions and sales

    • Private-view collections for curators and collectors

    • High-resolution and associated images, media and documents for each artwork—ready for any submission

    • Contact management (curators, collectors, reviewers, collaborators, clients, mailing list, etc)

    • Calendar management for submission, delivery and pickup deadlines

    • Custom reports (catalogs, invoices, tear-sheets, labels, QR codes, etc)

    • Catalogue raisonné details—provenance, signatures and authentication certificates, exhibition history, bibliographic history, condition and research notes, and other documentation

The whole body of work lives in one database. You make any selection public at any time, keep the rest private to you, and open specific private selections to individuals—a curator, a collector, a researcher—for a particular purpose.

Everything is shaped to your needs. We build a structure that fits your work and your career, with a full toolkit for managing the artwork data and its relationships to people, places, and opportunities—one place that is at once a website, an inventory system, and the foundation of a lasting catalogue raisonné.

Your private pages share the custom design of your public website, so the whole system feels like one piece—with the option of a fresh design later if you want one.
