Edit the Artwork Image

Under ARTWORK THUMBNAIL, hover over the image and click Crop to open the editing options.

• Crop: Drag the handles on the corners or sides to adjust the visible area.

Click CONFIRM to apply your edits, or CANCEL to discard them.

Remove the background

Click Remove background (Beta) to cut out the background of your image with one click. If you don’t like the result, you can undo it.

This option is available for 2D Artwork and Sculpture, but not for GIF files.

Update Artwork Information

The form is organized in three tabs: BASIC INFORMATION, LISTING & LINKS and INVENTORY. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. 

Important: The information you add here will appear in the Artwork’s details when the Artwork is added to a Virtual Exhibition and across ArtPlacer, except for the information in the INVENTORY tab, which is always private.

Tip: If you want to include something that doesn’t have its own field (such as contact details or special notes), add it in the DESCRIPTION field.
