This proposal is in response to (fictional artist) Suzanne Yee’s request and is intended for her to gain a better understanding of her inventory and working processes. We plan to assist in the process of maintaining records both in her possession and not her possession. By utilizing the information provided by the artist, this proposal lays out a scope of work and methodology. Our goal is to introduce and demonstrate professional standards for documenting and organizing artwork and accompanying material, demonstrate an organizational method that the artist and her employees can follow for future materials, and provide suggestions for physical handling and storage of artwork and process material.
