For art dealers & galleries

Scholarly catalogues, sent straight to your collectors.

Genlista's AI Expert Assistant writes Old Master, modern and contemporary artwork descriptions in the conservative, attribution-aware tone collectors expect — bundles them into a beautifully laid-out Catalogue raisonné, and exports it as a print-ready PDF (or HTML, CSV, JSON) you can email to your client list the same afternoon. Made for scholarly dealers, galleries and private offices.

A 17th-century Old Master oil painting in a gilded frame — the kind of work the AI Expert Assistant is trained to read.

For art dealers & galleries

From condition report to collector-ready catalogue PDF.

The problem today

Listing is the bottleneck — not the selling.

Designing a private-offer PDF in InDesign for every viewing room eats days you don't have.

Writing 'attributed to' / 'in the manner of' / 'circle of' correctly takes time and senior judgement.

International collectors expect French, German and Italian — not machine-translated English.

By the time the catalogue is laid out, the best works are already promised to someone else.

What you get

Built for your workflow.

Catalogue raisonné — built into Premium

Group works into a beautifully laid-out catalogue: branded cover with your gallery details, scholarly description, provenance, exhibition history, literature, condition and estimate per entry. The same project structure auction houses use, tailored for galleries and private offices.

One-click export — PDF, HTML, CSV, JSON

Push the whole catalogue to a print-ready PDF with your gallery's cover page, or to HTML for your viewing room, CSV/JSON for your inventory system. No design desk, no version drift — your catalogue, your branding, in seconds.

Send to your collector list — same day

Generate the PDF in the morning, attach it to your private-offer email by lunch. Genlista is built so your scholarship reaches your clients while the works are still available — not three weeks after the fair.

1-click photo cut-out

Photograph a work in the gallery, viewing room or storage — Genlista removes the background and presents the piece on a neutral white backdrop, ready for catalogues and online viewing rooms. One click, included on every plan.

Attribution-aware phrasing

Conservative scholarship language by default — 'attributed to', 'studio of', 'circa', 'after'. Hype-free, hallucination-free, ready for collector eyes.

Period & school context

Each description is grounded in art-historical reference points: school, technique, comparable works, market position. Not just 'beautiful oil painting'.

Market-aware value drivers

The Assistant flags what actually moves price — provenance, exhibition history, condition, size, signature placement — so your description leads with what collectors care about.

Six languages, one voice

Every artwork in EN, NL, FR, DE, IT, ES — drafted in the same scholarly register, ready for your viewing rooms, online catalogues and TEFAF / BRAFA / PAN preview pages.

Catalogue raisonné — Premium

Your inventory, presented like a scholarly catalogue.

Group works into a beautifully laid-out Catalogue raisonné — every entry with a gallery-grade photograph, scholarly description, provenance, exhibition history, literature, condition and estimate. Built for art dealers, galleries and private offices.

AI provenance suggestions — hedged, scholarly placeholders per work, ready for you to refine.
