I believe it depends on the type of art (medium) and if it is an individual piece or more than one. For instance, sculpture can be cast in bronze, plaster, ceramic, etc...and can have a number of different patinas (finished color). My father is a sculptor and prefers to call them "works", and more than one in his series are referred to as a "collection". Paintings are usually referred to as "works" as well, depending on the creator. For example, my mother is a fine artist and paints in oil, acrylic and airbrush. She also refers to them as "works" and a series as a "collection". However, she refers to them sometimes depending on how they are displayed and sometimes on the medium. For example, a painting that hangs is "wall mounted", or a smaller work might be called "miniature oil". Of course they all have their own "names", which is the title the artist chooses to capture the nature of his/her creation (just like a songwriter titles his music pieces). Also, once an artist has made numerous paintings, sculptures, etc...they generally refer to their entire collection as a "body of works".
Also, this does not begin to cover how art is referred to once it is for sale. This can include the above mentioned, and also have terminology such as "limited edition", "original" or "print".
My advice is to browse some artist chat rooms or websites. Artists are very individual when it comes to how they refer to things, especially depending on what type of art they do (medium) or how they perceive themselves (serious artist, fine artist, etc...)
