The instruction manual: |
Bibliographic code: Section K5
|
Section K5 includes visual artwork based on, influenced by, or otherwise directly related to Ashbery or his work. Portraits of Ashbery in all media (painting, drawing, sculpture, prints, photography, collage, etc.) are included in this category.
Although Section K5 items are generally documented in the ARC archive by secondary materials such as exhibition catalogues, reviews and announcements, rather than by the original artwork, each citation is written for the artwork itself. The title of the work is listed in the title and publication fields, the artist is listed in the author and author/editor fields, and the date of the work's creation, exhibition or first publication is listed in the date of publication field (see the cautionary statement below). All information about the secondary materials that document these artworks is given in the notes field.
Caution:
Some citations in Section K5 are incomplete at this time because the secondary materials that document the existence of the work may not provide full information about title, date, media, dimensions, location / ownership, etc. Such details will be added, along with images of the works, as they become available. Until then the notes field may include conjectural information about certain aspects of the works.
When Ashbery or his work has been the subject of more than one work by an artist, each work is given a separate citation when the ARC has enough information to distinguish among them. When the ARC does not yet have such distinguishing information (as in the case of some of the many portraits of Ashbery by Larry Rivers or Fairfield Porter), the works will be presented temporarily in a single citation in order to avoid misidentifying or conflating them.
