About Primer

Primer is an art database and client relationship manager (CRM) designed for galleries, artists and art collections to easily store and access artwork, contacts, transactions, and exhibitions.

What makes Primer’s inventory particularly special? It provides a clear history of the work including anyone who has interacted with or even just reacted to the work. Seeing who did or almost did buy an artwork may suggest what to offer in the future.

The Contacts section is more than just a Rolodex. It is a valuable bank of clients and potential clients waiting to become your next sale. The most successful dealers and artists are proactive. They expand their clients’ horizons and surprise them by predicting their next favorite artist or artwork. Highly effective professionals use Primer’s layouts, tools, and searches to leverage contact data into actionable insights for better business gains.

Successfully conduct previews, offers, sales, consignments, and more.

    "Best fine art software with amazing customer service"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2020-05-23

    Pros: Primer understands the art world and what I need to do to sell more artwork. So easy to make my documents and online viewing rooms look how I want them too. Customer support is incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable. I was very frustrated with the old programs I used, which were clunky and required lots of "work arounds." Grateful to have Primer.

    Cons: It takes a couple days to learn how to use the software but they offer personal training sessions and a great help desk. The learning curve seemed very normal for an excellent program like this.

    Overall: Wonderful experience with Primer! Couldn't recommend more highly. The Primer team helped me learn to use their sales tools and are so easy to contact. Super happy with my documents and love online viewing rooms.
