The clean way to track your art collection
Editioned prints, a few originals, and a folder of certificates that needs to stay with the work — an art collection is as much paperwork as it is the art. Frame keeps every piece on record: title, artist, medium, year, and edition, paid against current market, with the COA, provenance, and condition report attached. Know what you hold, what it's worth, and that the documentation is ready when it's time to insure, sell, or consign.
Built for how art & prints are actually tracked.
Art value rests on the artist, the edition, and the paper trail. Artist and Title identify the work, Medium and Year situate it, and Edition (88/150) is the field that separates a numbered print from an open edition or a unique original — it materially drives value. Paid vs. Est. value tracks appreciation, but on art the documentation matters as much: a piece without its COA and provenance is worth a fraction of the same piece with it, which is why Frame keeps them on the record.

Common questions.
Why is the certificate of authenticity so important to track?+
For editioned and contemporary work, the COA and provenance are a large part of the value — a print without documentation can be worth a fraction of the same print with it. Frame keeps the COA, gallery invoice, and provenance attached to the work so they never get separated.
How do I track editions vs. originals?+
The Edition field holds the print number (88/150) for editioned work and a marker for unique pieces ('1/1', 'unique', 'AP' for artist's proof). Editioned prints, APs, and originals carry very different values, so the field keeps them straight.
Can I record provenance and exhibition history?+
Yes. Use notes and attached documents for the ownership chain, gallery invoices, and any exhibition history. A documented provenance raises value and is what an auction house or insurer will ask for at higher values.
How do I value art for insurance?+
Auction records (Artnet, MutualArt) and recent gallery or dealer sales are the standard references. Enter the value, attach a comp or appraisal, and refresh periodically — and for high-value originals, keep a recent formal appraisal on the record.
Will my insurer accept Frame's export?+
Yes. The PDF lists every work, its medium, edition, and value with images, COAs, and provenance attached — accepted by fine-art carriers as the basis for a scheduled-items rider. The documentation Frame keeps on each work is exactly what an adjuster or appraiser needs.
