In six of the seven volumes, all works of art from the collection can be found in alphabetical order, each with an image and all the accompanying basic information about each work of art.
Not only visual material of these 2000 works was included in this edition, but also text material on the just over 300 most important artists in the collection, written by various authors over the past 5 years. Contributions were made by Katrien Blanchaert, Jo Coucke, Isabelle De Baets, Marie Decoodt, Ory Dessau, Wouter De Vleeschouwer, Lotte Devoeght, Martin Germann, Julie Verheye and Thibaut Verhoeven.
The seventh volume is a text section with illuminating contributions on the history and current state of the S.M.A.K. collection, written by Philippe Van Cauteren and Thibaut Verhoeven.
The integral collection inventory describes all the works of art held by the S.M.A.K., which are assumed never to leave the collection. Works of art on long-term loan with no prospect of acquisition for the collection are not included.
