Dark Silence In Suburbia: Artwork citation →
Previously I’ve mentioned including the artist’s name when posting artwork but today, instead of fiddling with Wikipedia, I thought I’d go the extra pedantic mile here and write about artwork citation.
The MLA and Chicago Manual of Style give the basic format for artwork citation as:
- Artist name
- Title of the work in italics (or underlined, but not in quotes)
- Date it was created (or n.d. if date is not available)
- Repository, museum, or owner followed by the location of the institution
Example note citation:
Mark Rothko, Number 22, 1969, Museum of Modern Art, New York.
