scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: Artists' Artwork Files contain materials related to the sale and consignment of works of art. Each work of art was assigned an inventory number when it was taken in by the gallery, made up of a unique three- or four-digit number followed by a two-letter code (i.e. 2549CY). The numbers were assigned in numerical order, therefore smaller numbers indicate an earlier intake date and larger numbers, a more recent intake date. The two-letter code indicates the type of transaction: consignment ("CY"), loan ("LY"), joint venture ("JY"), or the Richard York Gallery inventory ("RY"). Researchers should note that artwork may have multiple inventory numbers or may be described by alternate titles as a result of being taken in by the gallery on more than one occasion.
