Import from Art Record

To export your data from Art Record, visit the settings page, and choose Download Entire Archive, which will direct you to the data export page. You can make a request, and after a day or so, you’ll receive a zip file with all your data.

You can import that ZIP file into Valise. Art Record imports are the most comprehensive — they bring in artworks, contacts, collections, presentations (exhibitions), sales, locations, and tags. Images and documents from the export are also imported.

Importing into Valise

1. Go to the Settings → Import / Export page.
2. Click the Art Record button.
3. Drag and drop the ZIP archive you received from Art Record, or click to select it. Upload it as-is, without unzipping it first.
4. Review the preview to confirm what will be imported, along with any warnings.
5. Press Import.

Your images and documents aren’t inside the ZIP itself, so we fetch them from Art Record in the background after the import completes. They’ll fill in over time.

Limitations

• Art Record’s edition information is free-form text, so it’s stored in the artwork’s notes field rather than as structured edition records.
• For sales of editioned works, we can’t determine which specific edition was sold, so artwork titles are recorded in the sale notes instead.
• PDF files attached as images in Art Record are moved to the documents section during import.
