Import from Artwork Archive

To get your data from Artwork Archive, you can use their guide on exporting your data to CSV or XLS.

Artwork Archive has a few different types of exports and reports, but you’ll want to go to the Artwork > Pieces page, select New Report and then select Export to CSV or Export to XLS. Either format can be imported.

Artwork Archive imports bring in artworks, locations, contacts (from buyer and seller fields), and sales.

Importing into Valise

1. Go to the Settings → Import / Export page.
2. Click the Artwork Archive button.
3. Drag and drop the CSV or XLS file you exported, or click to select it.
4. Review the preview to confirm what will be imported, along with any warnings.
5. Press Import.

Images are fetched from Artwork Archive in the background after the import completes, so they’ll fill in over time.

Limitations

• Artwork Archive exports don’t include a currency column. A price written with a currency symbol, like €1,500 or £1,500, keeps that currency, and $ is treated as USD. A price with no symbol is stored in your vault’s default currency.
• Inventory numbers, provenance notes, and signature notes are stored in the artwork’s notes field.
