Notable collections[edit]

I was curious what other people thought of including the locations of the exhibits. Originally a few of the exhibits were listed as "Museum Name, City, Country" so for the sake of consistency I did that with all of them, but it seemed really redundant so I removed the city from any of the exhibits that have a location in the name and simply left the country. Is this still too redundant? Should we simply remove all of the locations because a user can easily click on the link and find out where it is? TipsyElephant (talk) 18:51, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd put the states instead of "United States." Not exactly consistently but he is a US-based artist so it stands to reason that most of his work is in US museums. And not everyone would know where "Bentonville" is. Yuchitown (talk) 02:32, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]

Books[edit]

If you search "Nicholas Galanin" on google books there are countless books with his name in it. I'd assume these could all be used as references or put in the further reading section. I haven't cited many books in the past so I'm not 100% what passes as reliable or useful, but I'll probably start adding them after I've fleshed out the already present citations. I figured I'd mention it here in case I don't ever get to it. TipsyElephant (talk) 13:48, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that he is such a prominent artist, I am sure he is mentioned quite often...especially in the museum exhibition catalogues. If they contain good information, it can be used. I can help with the formatting. And I will look at Google also! Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 09:28, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ISBN[edit]

Apparently artwork sometimes have ISBN codes. For instance, "Let Them Enter Dancing and Showing Their Faces" has the ISBN 978-1-7321241-0-3. If we can find all the ISBN codes would it be worth making a section that lists his artwork titles with their ISBN codes, release year, etc. like how a bibliography, discography, or filmography would normally? TipsyElephant (talk) 16:05, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, artworks don't have ISBNs. "Let Them Enter, etc" per the source, is "a 140 page monograph", so it is a book, not an artwork. Here [1] is the place where it can be purchased. So, what we need is a Publications section. Will try to add this! Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 08:39, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notable or permanent collections[edit]

Under the section entitled Notable collections, we have a few museums that do not have a source. Are we sure that they feature his work in their permanent collections? If so, please add a source, and note "Permanent collection ". Once we have sources for all of the permanent collections, perhaps we could consider renaming the section as Permanent collections.

By my count, we are missing sources for five museums. Please have a look while reading.... Best wishes! Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 04:07, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
