Artlogic
Artlogic's importer (Artworks, Tools, Import) needs a spreadsheet with its exact column names, at most 200 artworks per file, plus the image files. A gallery preview is a designed PDF, so it has to be converted first. Vitryne does that: drop the PDF or paste an Artlogic private-view link, download one ZIP, import.

Why it is slow today
A gallery preview is a designed document: images with captions set beside or over them, in the gallery's own order and style. Artlogic's importer needs the opposite: one row per work and one column per field, under exact header names.
Bridging the two usually means copying each caption by hand, field by field, and cropping each image out of the PDF. Vitryne does that reading for you and keeps the values exactly as the gallery printed them.
How it works
Drop the gallery's PDF, or paste an Artlogic private-view link. Vitryne records every work with its image, caption and price.
Search and filter the catalogue, correct anything you want, and set your own sale price where it differs from the gallery's.
Download one ZIP: a spreadsheet whose column names match Artlogic's import template, plus every image, named to match.
In Artlogic, open Artworks, then Tools, then Import. Upload the spreadsheet, then the images at the Upload images step.
The export
Artlogic's template has many columns, matched by name, and the ones you leave out are simply ignored. Vitryne fills these:
| Artlogic column | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| Artist | As printed in the preview |
| Stock number | The gallery's inventory number |
| Title | Without the year |
| Year | As printed, e.g. c. 1971 or 1971/2019 |
| Medium | Materials, as printed |
| Dimensions | Metric when available, otherwise imperial |
| Edition details | For prints, photographs and sculpture |
| Availability | Available, reserved, sold or on request |
| Retail currency | Your own sale price's currency if you set one, otherwise the preview's |
| Retail price | Your sale price if set, otherwise the price in the preview |
| Description for website | Provenance, signature and exhibition notes |
| Images | The file name of that work's image, included in the bundle |
Artlogic's artwork import, the one found under Artworks, Tools, Import. It reads a spreadsheet and matches each column by its exact header name, which is why Vitryne uses the template's names rather than its own.
Artlogic's importer accepts up to 200 artworks per import. When you export more, the ZIP contains one spreadsheet per 200 works (artworks-1.csv, artworks-2.csv and so on) to import one after the other.
They are in the ZIP. Each work's image is a JPEG named after its stock number, with no spaces, exactly as written in the Images column. At Artlogic's Upload images step, select the files in the images folder.
Vitryne exports a CSV, which opens directly in Excel. If the importer asks for .xlsx, open the file in Excel and save it as an Excel workbook.
Yes. Paste the private-view link into Vitryne. The works are read straight from the page, with the gallery's own high-resolution images, so no PDF is needed.
Vitryne is independent and not affiliated with Artlogic. It works alongside Artlogic: Vitryne reads the previews you receive, Artlogic manages the works you hold. Not using Artlogic? You can also export your previews to Excel.
