Minimalist Gallery
The Minimalist Gallery template gives each artwork the page it deserves. Generous margins, a single italic cover line, and a hairline rule under each caption.

When to use this art catalog template
Use it when you want collectors and curators to focus on the work, not the layout. Best for painting, drawing, and contemporary photography portfolios sent to galleries.
What's inside
A cover page with your catalog title and name, one plate per artwork, and a caption line with title, medium, dimensions, year, and price.
Who uses a minimalist art catalog
Gallery submissions
When you cold-email a gallery, the director spends seconds on each PDF. A quiet layout with one plate per page lets the strongest work carry the first impression.
Collector follow-ups
After a studio visit, send a short catalog of the six to ten works the collector looked at, without decorative frames that compete with the images.
Contemporary photography and drawing
Monochrome and works on paper suffer next to heavy graphics. White pages and hairline rules keep tonal detail readable on screen.
Example: a 12-page minimalist catalog
A painter preparing a gallery submission might use a cover reading "Recent Paintings", then ten plates — one per page — with captions such as "Low Tide, 2025 · Oil on linen · 90 × 120 cm · $3,400". No statement page, no biography: the gallery can request those once interested. (Illustrative example.)

Minimalist Gallery template FAQ
How many artworks should a minimalist catalog include?
Most gallery submissions work best with 8 to 15 works. Fewer, stronger pieces read as a confident edit; more than 20 dilutes the impression.
Should I include prices in a minimalist catalog?
Include prices when sending to collectors. For first contact with a gallery, many artists leave them out and provide a separate price list on request.
Is this template good for printing?
Yes. The A4 PDF prints cleanly on a home or studio printer, and the white pages keep ink use low.
