Your Collection, Mastered: How Artlogic Empowers Private Collectors
Collections are more than just objects—they’re stories, investments, memories, and legacies. For private collectors, managing a growing archive across locations, loans, insurance, condition, and provenance can become overwhelming. That’s where Artlogic steps in: a platform built not just for galleries but for collectors of all sizes—from single-room collections to multi-site portfolios.
What Artlogic Offers Collectors
Artlogic doesn’t only serve galleries and artists—it has a Collector / Management module designed for private collections. Key features include:
Unlimited artwork records: store every piece (or edition), with detailed fields: title, media, dimensions, provenance, condition reports, insurance values, location history, etc.
Image support & document uploads: high-quality photos, PDF scans (catalogues, receipts), condition images, archive documents.
Location & multi-site support: track where each artwork is (in storage, on loan, installed in a home, displayed in a building) — perfect for collectors with multiple properties or loaned works.
Contact & relationships (CRM for collectors): you can attach contacts (advisors, galleries, insurers), log communications, group by interest, track purchase history.
Insurance & reporting tools: generate insurance reports by currency, add insurance valuation fields, automate some parts of the reporting process.
Secure & backed-up data: Artlogic emphasises encryption and daily backups, giving peace of mind for valuable records.
Device compatibility & offline access: with the PrivateViews app you can present artworks from iPhone/iPad, even offline (handy when traveling).
Website / Public Integration (if desired): for more public collections or foundations, you can integrate parts of your collection with web pages or collections portals.
Thus, whether your collection is just a few signature pieces or hundreds of works across multiple sites, the platform scales to meet your needs.
Benefits for Private Collectors
Here are the practical advantages I’ve seen (and helped clients realise) when collectors use Artlogic:
1. Holistic Visibility & Control
Instead of separate spreadsheets, files, and photo folders, everything is centralised. You have one unified view of your collection’s condition, location, and history.
2. Better Decision-Making & Planning
Want to plan a loan, exhibition, or home display? You can filter by condition, ownership, location. You can preview how your collection moves over time.
3. Risk Management & Insurance
Instead of separate spreadsheets, files, and photo folders, everything is centralised. You have one unified view of your collection’s condition, location, and history.
4. Mobility & Accessibility
Because Artlogic is cloud-based and accessible from multiple devices, you can work from home, a friend’s studio, on a laptop in Paris, or an iPad in a museum.
5. Professional Presentation for Stakeholders
If you occasionally present part of your collection to advisors, family, lenders, or collaborators, Artlogic allows polished, secure presentations (via PrivateViews or shared links).
6. Scalability Beyond Fine Art
Collections don’t have to be limited to paintings or sculptures. You can manage decorative arts, furniture, rare books, design, jewelry, or even maintain a curated home inventory. Each item just lives in the same structured system.
7. Future-Ready for Growth or Public Projection
As your collection evolves, you might want a mini-public site, foundation pages, or selective sharing. Because the system is built with gallery / artist infrastructure in mind, transitioning from private to semi-public is smoother.

If you’re a collector (or thinking of becoming one) and feel your “collection backend” is messy or disjointed, I’d be happy to collaborate — to make the system work for you, not just for your art. Get in touch
