  • Dark Silence In Suburbia: Artwork citation

    paperimages:

    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.
