Hi Lourdes,

 

At National Gallery, London we attribute each of our anonymous works to a school of painting e.g. 'Italian, Florentine' or 'German'. We create a Constituent record for each school and enter 'Italian, Florentine' in the Last Name, Display Name and AlphaSort fields. The name of the school can express doubt e.g. 'Italian (?)' or 'English or French'.

 

Hope this is useful,

Gillian

Greetings fellow TMS users,

 

I have a question and hope anyone could answer me. We have some works of art with anonymous author. As I am entering the information in TMS we found a problem: in constituents, how we should put an anonymous author. Does anyone have in the list of constituent names like Jane Doe, anonymous author, etc.   

 

 I would like to know, if anyone of you can tell me, how you deal with this.  Thanks.
