Hi everyone,

I was wondering how other institutions handle describing the geography associated with an object that isn't quite so straight forward.

For example:
A drawing of three figures that is a study for a lunette that was created for the Detroit Public Library.
The drawing may not have been created in Detroit (we don't know where it was created).  The drawing is not located in Detroit. The drawing does not depict the library or the city of Detroit.

Does anyone use a geography type such as "Associated Place"? Do you just allow the title to be the only reference to the work's geography?  If you do use a geography type for situations like this, do you display this information online?

Thanks!
Kelly
