The illustrations field
This field identifies visual artwork printed in conjunction with a text or with a publication as a whole. The illustrations field supplies titles, artist names, and descriptive information about the artwork, as available or relevant.
Tips on searching by illustrations
*The illustrations field deals primarily with illustrations that accompany creative (i.e., non-critical) texts by John Ashbery and the cover art for collections of Ashbery's work. It does not attempt to document exhaustively all illustration of works in the archive. For example, the illustrations field may not consistently provide information about photographs of Ashbery that accompany publications of poems or interviews, nor about reproductions of visual art that accompany his writing about art.
*The illustrator will always be listed in the illustrations field. However, depending on the degree of collaboration between illustrator and author, the illustrator may also be listed in the author or author/editor field. For example, citations for fine art editions, which tend to give equal emphasis to the text and the accompanying visual artwork, will list the illustrator along with Ashbery in the author/editor field.
*In the case of theatrical productions or films, the illustrations field will include information about set design, etc.
