Dear All
I have recently joined the National Gallery of Ireland as
their TMS Officer. At the moment we have over 740 unique entries in the
medium field and over 150 in the school field. We would like to simplify
these and wonder if any of you are able to offer advice on agreed standards/how
your institution deals with this data.
The data in the medium field includes the support as well eg
‘oil on canvas’, ‘watercolour on paper’,
‘watercolour on vellum’.
It also includes colours eg ‘Red chalk on beige
paper’, ‘Red chalk with white highlights on beige
paper’. These are probably best recorded elsewhere?
Many thanks
Caroline Delahunty
