Dear Polly
We are currently working with the PCF to have our collection of oil paintings photographed and recorded. They were in last week and photographed all of our oils on display and in storage and have since photographed the ones we have out on loan. They photograph approximately 10-15 paintings per hour and worked v.efficiently. If you would like to ask me more questions please feel free to email me off list at the address below
Regards

Has anyone worked with the Public Catalogue Foundation to photograph their oil paintings & provide documentary information for publication? We've been asked if we want to get involved & it sounds a worthwhile project. We are already part way through our own collections audit and so this project may well dovetail beautifully. However, our project is (of course) behind time and I don't want to cause any more set backs if I can help it. So, I'd really appreciate some information on the practical realities of contributing to the project.
Thank you
