The details you will be glad you kept
Tell an original print from a poster
Photograph the signature, the edition number and any blind stamp in the margin. Check the suggested artist, technique and edition against the work itself, and keep a signature that is hard to read in your notes as uncertain until you can confirm it.
Turn the frame around
Gallery labels, art club stickers and old receipts on the back are part of the work’s history. Photograph them, add the dimensions and note which wall the work hangs on.
