Gallery Software Notes

Practical notes on running a gallery: inventory, consignments, proposals, compliance and invoicing. Written by the people building MARMALADE.

A gallery storeroom, framed canvases stored on edge in light wooden racks, some under glassine, each with a tag; in the foreground a table with a laptop, a roll of kraft paper and a tape measure, a yellow lamp by the window

A vaulted archive room, a long aisle between dark wooden shelves filled with bound ledgers, daylight falling from the windows in bands across the stone floor
