Gavelmere
An auction catalog workspace for lot descriptions, condition review and sale sequencing.
Project overview
Gavelmere explores the editorial work behind an auction catalog. An object-first studio gives photography and description equal attention, while condition notes, sequence planning and catalog proofing connect the record to its eventual presentation. All lots and provenance details are illustrative; the portfolio does not claim authentication or valuation services.
The challenge
Preparing a catalog means coordinating photographs, descriptions, condition observations and ordering decisions. A late change to a lot can be difficult to trace when its record and page proof are reviewed separately.
- Keep descriptive content connected to object imagery.
- Attach condition notes to the relevant visible detail.
- Preserve lot identity as the sale sequence and proof evolve.
Our solution
An editorial catalog workspace uses a compact collection rail. Lot editing emphasizes the object, sale sequencing uses an ordered visual grid, condition review uses magnified annotations and proofing displays the publication spread.
- Develop a lot description beside its photograph and illustrative record notes.
- Arrange an ordered sale sequence using object thumbnails and section dividers.
- Inspect object details with numbered annotations and condition observations.
- Review a catalog spread with typography controls and editorial comments.

The results
Four views connect object records to condition review, sequencing and publication proofing. A next evaluation would follow an editor from a changed lot description to its current catalog placement.
