Auction Catalogs are used mostly by galleries that sell art and by museums who purchase art for their collections. They are also very useful for curators who track provenance or investigate art attributions.

A Catalogue Raisonné is the published catalog of an artist's entire oeuvre, or portions of it by medium or chronology. They are essential to find provenance, chronologies, physical descriptions, illustrations, related bibliography, and basic scholarship concerning a particular piece of art or an artist's complete body of work.
