Hello:

 

We are embarking on a project to catalogue a  large group of copy prints of photographs—that is photographs printed later by someone other than the artist.

 

Our curator is advocating for this information to appear in more than one field to maximize transparency for the general public.

For the example:

Date: c. 1930 (printed later)

Title: Copy print of Apartment House Communal Rooms for Werkbund Exhibition, Paris, 1930

Media: Gelatin silver copy print

Classification: Photographs—photograph—copy photograph

 

I’m wondering how other museums/institutions designate copy prints in TMS?

Also, do you publish copy prints in your collections online?

 

Thanks for your assistance!

 

Best,

Kathleen
