So much goes into the care, management and exhibiting of your art collection. With Artwork Archive's Revenue and Expenses you can track both income (from sales, services, fees, etc.) and expenses paid for maintaining, showcasing, and managing your art collection.

With Expense tracking, you'll understand the true cost of your art collection. Record general expenses as well as expenses for a particular artwork. Log shipping, framing, installation and lighting for an artwork. Note the cost of fabricating an exhibition and the cost of the photography and marketing materials. Gain insight into how much you are spending in certain categories and get one-click expense reports with the expense tracking tool.

You also have a better way to track commission distribution. You can track payments to artists and never question whether or not you paid the artist and when.

With Revenue tracking, you can register sales and track other Revenue types like rentals, merchandise, grants, etc.
