The success of a printed Catalogue Raisonné relies on rigorous organization and precise data structuring within a secure, scalable digital database.
A well-designed digital Catalogue Raisonné not only allows for the archiving, organizing, and documenting of the artist’s complete body of work, but also serves as a strong, clear, and dynamic foundation for any future printed publication. Here are some key advantages:
Structured data organization: dates, titles, techniques, dimensions, provenance, exhibitions — everything is centralized and easily editable.
Simplified filtering and selection: choose exactly which works to include in the printed version, based on thematic, chronological, or curatorial criteria.
Scalability: digital tools allow for ongoing additions and corrections, making the documentation more reliable before locking in the printed version. Even after publication, the digital version can continue to evolve.
Smart previewing: some platforms allow page layout simulations or section exports, which greatly assist the editorial process.
Smoother collaboration: researchers, heirs, contributors, and publishers can work remotely, with tracked changes. The digital catalogue is the lab. The printed book is the masterpiece.
At InventoZen, we believe one cannot succeed without the other: digital precision allows the printed version to be more coherent, relevant, and professionally managed.
