Artworks would include paintings, drawings, murals (can be paintings, drawings, mosaics), sculptures, prints, carvings, and photographs. I'd like to include gifts, such as from sister cities. I can confirm the request is for a list of artworks owned by the council (which includes council owned properties, like libraries and art galleries), with artist name, artwork title, and value where available. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you require any further information. Cheers.
