Here I am again with another plea for help!
We are working on a new computerized catalog and have hit a new hitch. I am
including a layout which will take some of the fields from the "catalog
card" and use them to produce labels for the objects, which will look
something like this:
Title (or name of object)
Provenance and date
Acc. #
Donor & Date of donation
The problem comes with paintings and prints for which we have little
information and no formal title. Do we say "Untitled" or is that in itself
a kind of title within the art community? Do we say "Title Unknown"? Six or
eight of those in a row could get pretty funny. Do we say "Watercolor",
etc.? Any suggestions here?
