Cite visual works by listing the artist(s), the title of the work, completion
date (if known), and current display information, which will depend on
how and where you viewed the source and what kind of work it is:
• Are you citing a painting, photograph, or sculpture? After the artist
and the title (underlined), identify the owner (a person or institution)
and the city where the work is housed. If using a published image or
reproduction of the work, attach standard publication details for that
source at the end of your entry. See Models 58, 60
• Are you citing maps, charts, photographs, or other graphical
publications? When the item is published separately, list the artist
(if known), the title (underlined), a description (Map, Chart, etc.),
and publication details (place, publisher, and year). When the item
appears inside another source, such as a book or Web page, place the
title in quotes and provide publication details for the containing
source. See Models 59, 61, 62
• Are you citing a musical composition? If citing a published score,
format the entry like a book or online book, depending on how published.
If not using a particular recording or published score, simply list
the artist, title, and year. See Model 63
