For the Juried show we should use a numbering system that goes in a rising order from first piece received to last piece received, yet we should put a number in front of it so that when people see whats picked its harder for them to recognize others works. (1201, 1202, 1203...). Or another way to go about it would be to place a letter in the front indicating if it Photography P or Drawing D, or any other form of art work. (P001, D001,). This would be different than a museum because they most likely keep track of the date received along with month and a lot more information in there inventory numbers. Here is an example of an inventory Form. Artist should keep track of dates when to drop off there piece and when they should know if it got into the exhibit. They should also know how it is being stored and displayed if it should get into the show.
A condition report shows the condition of a piece when it is received. You draw a picture and show where there are any scratches or marks on the frame or the piece that should not be there. Make note of chips and scratches in the glass. These are so that the artist knows that the gallery did not damage the piece but, it was received that way. Here is an example of a Condition Report.
