Galleries, studios, museums and collectors will from time to time have one or more artworks consigned to them. These artworks remain the property of the consigning owner and are placed with you for a temporary period only. Most often this will be a collection of artworks from an artist placed with a gallery for sale.
The gallery will be responsible for stock keeping and managing these artworks until such time as they are placed back with the artist or removed from the consignment if they have been sold.
They are included in stock reports and are considered as part of your stock.
