Managing Exhibition Artworks

The Artworks tab is where you manage which artworks belong in an exhibition.

This matters because exhibitions in Artlope are not just notes. They are directly connected to the works you actually showed.

How the tab is organized

The tab has two main sections:

• artworks already in the exhibition
• artworks not yet in the exhibition

You can search by artwork name or category to narrow either list.

Use Add to place a work into the exhibition, or Remove to take it out.

What Artlope stores for each artwork in an exhibition

Each artwork entry can hold exhibition-specific information.

That includes:

• whether the artwork is included
• Price
• Currency
• edition numbers, for limited editions
• open edition count, for open editions

This means the exhibition can keep its own pricing and edition notes without changing the main artwork record.

For example, a work can have one general artwork price in Artlope, while the exhibition entry stores the price used for that particular show or fair.

Editioned artworks

If the artwork is a Limited edition, you can note which edition numbers were shown.

If the artwork is an Open edition, you can note how many copies were shown.

This is useful when the exhibition included only part of an edition rather than the whole body of work.

Artlope checks whether limited edition numbers are within the edition size.

Overlap warnings

If an artwork appears in more than one exhibition during overlapping dates, Artlope can warn you.

This is especially useful for original works or specific edition numbers that cannot physically be in two places at once.

The warning is there to help you catch timeline mistakes or double-booked works.

Where else you can add artworks to exhibitions

You can also add exhibitions from the artwork side.

See Adding Artworks To Exhibitions if you want to work from an artwork page instead.
