Text:

Excel format with description of 8874 artworks (Rows) in 18 fields (Columns): RefNo, InventoryNo, Artist, Title, Year, Description, Medium, LastValue, Dimension H, Dimension W, Dimension D, Type, Series, Status, DueBack, Client, Notes, Image Filename. The file was generated with the filter functionality of the DBMS (see File .csv) based on ‘RefNo contains’ letter 'i' (for 'Italian'). See Part I 'Guideline' in the PDF file of the catalogue for the methodology of the compilation. The total number 8874 of artworks is higher than the total number 6985 (Cat nr) of artworks with entry in the PDF file of the catalogue. Only those artworks with a Title-field starting with a numerical 1 to 18, corresponding to the 18 main topics categorized in the catalogues, have an entry in the catalogue. All other works have a Title-field which starts with a letter in upper case and do not get a Cat nr, though they are described in the PDFs with their Record nr (and thus searchable in the PDF) in Comments of the entry. All RefNo ending with letter 'a' following the letter 'i' were added in the DBMS since publication of the catalogue PDF file. Thus these are artworks to evaluate when revising the published catalogue after further comparative study. Occasionally letter 'n' or '?' following letter 'i' in RefNo is used to indicate preliminary rejection of the artwork, sometimes because the artist is not (yet) identified.

Text:

This volume has two parts: I Introduction and ackowledgements, Issues of compilation, Guideline to the Catalogue, Index of Artists (with multiple cross-references to alternative names or pseudonyms); Information resources, and II Catalogue. The artworks in the catalogue are categorized by their topic and described in the rows of a table with five columns : ARTIST; Year & level; Title(s) (keyword) (after) (author)/ type/ medium, support/ dimension/ owner or auctioneer/ inventory or sale-lot nrs/ information sources/ comments; Record nr; Cat nr. In the column ‘Title etc’ the forward slash / is used to split the different parts of the description of the artwork; parentheses (…) are used to clarify and angle brackets < …> are used for quotations found in the information sources. The Record nr is identical to the RefNo in the CSV files and the ID in the Image-set, but is preceded by the letter R for reason of easy search in the PDF and is followed by letter V (void) if an image is missing (but in a few cases a screenshot of a descriptive text from an information source has been filed in the Image-set). Letter R is preceded by the sign * for a new record not included in the first edition Vol 1.1 of 2007. Cat nrs are only given to entries describing works which comply to the rules of the Guideline.
