Referencing

Everything you need to know about referencing, bibliographies, copyright and plagiarism

When referencing artwork in a museum/gallery, your reference list needs to include:

  • artistr's name – surname followed by first initial
  • year of production
  • title of artwork, in italics
  • medium
  • exhibited at Name of gallery
  • location
  • date viewed

Harvard referencing example:

Green, R 2009, Vernon, linocut, exhibited at Deakin University Art Gallery, Melbourne Burwood Campus, viewed 27 October 2010.

If an artwork is viewed within an exhibition, add the title of the exhibition and the exhibition dates.
