Obscure catalogues
Two among the solo exhibitions, as currently described:


 * 1986 Espace, Union des Banques a Paris, Paris, "Rosalind Solomon Photographies," Ghislaines Richard-Vitton, catalogue text by Ben Lifson.
 * 1992 Instituto de Estudios americanos, Badalona and Bilbao Cultural Center, Bilbao, Spain, "Rosalind Solomon: Disconnections," catalogue text by Jeff Rosenheim.

Worldcat has no mention of the former catalogue. Anyone know anything about it?

Worldcat says of the latter:


 * 1 folded sheet ([6] pages) : illustrations, portraits ; 21 cm

I suggest that this is so minor that we can and perhaps should ignore it. Comments? -- Hoary (talk) 22:20, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * 1 folded sheet...! Yes please do. -Lopifalko (talk) 08:18, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Deletion request for sample photo
I have, sadly, nominated the photograph for deletion from Commons: Deletion_requests/File:Ancash,_Peru,_1981.jpg. I'd be delighted if convincing reasons were presented there not to delete, whereupon I'd reverse myself. (NB please present them there, not here.) -- Hoary (talk) 22:56, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 20 July 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Moved. No real opposition, and seems reasonable. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:38, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Rosalind Solomon → Rosalind Fox Solomon – This is a procedural nomination, I have no opinion. The text in green is by User:Hoary and I copied it from their original proposal. The RM template usually appends the name of the person who fills it in, which in this case was me. EdJohnston (talk) 19:13, 20 July 2016 (UTC) (updated at 00:13 on 21 July). --Fixing time by posting this message, the day is still the same.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   05:47, 21 July 2016 (UTC)


 * EdJohnston changed what had been a question about which course of action to take (with a tentative recommendation) into a request to take one course of action. No complaints from me, because making this a "requested move" triggers one or more alerts elsewhere: a plus. -- Hoary (talk) 22:38, 20 July 2016 (UTC) .... deleted half of my comment, as EdJohnston's clarification has made it unnecessary (and confusing). -- Hoary (talk) 05:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

The article is currently titled "Rosalind Solomon". The photographer started as Rosalind Fox and did most of her work as Rosalind Solomon but in recent years seems to have been consistent in naming herself Rosalind Fox Solomon. (See for example her website.)

Rosalind Fox Solomon currently isn't even a redirect. At the least, it should redirect to Rosalind Solomon. But I think that this would be the wrong way around. Better to move this article to Rosalind Fox Solomon, leaving a redirect.

However, I'm not passionately in favor of the change. "Rosalind Solomon" is shorter and for all I know may remain better used. If it is, we should keep it. (See Naming conventions (people) for the criteria to use when deciding which title to use.)

Anyway, one title should redirect to the other. But which way around? Comments welcome. -- Hoary (talk) 00:30, 20 July 2016 (UTC)


 * As her most recent publications and her web site use Rosalind Fox Solomon, I say go with that lead and rename. -Lopifalko (talk) 09:10, 20 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Permanent collections, or perhaps not, or not worth bothering with
Some collections are listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares or mentioned otherwise, but are currently a mystery.

Other collections verifiably possess prints -- but it seems only in the single figures. A photographer (or her representative) may like to list as many of these collections as possible, and for understandable reasons; but I suggest that listing them in our article, however modestly, does very little to enlighten the reader. And therefore I am removing them from the article. (It was me who put them there.) NB there may be some misunderstanding, and it's entirely possible that a collection of three could grow to a collection of twenty-three. And this is why I list them here.

North America

 * Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) Top page doesn't seem to allow a search of the collection


 * Corcoran Gallery of Art
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) The museum has closed and most of its content has gone to the National Gallery of Art. But a search through the collection of the latter shows nothing by RS.


 * , Mexico City.
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) Its web page doesn't seem to offer a way in which the collection can be searched through.


 * National Portrait Gallery, Washington DC
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) This is screwy. Search results for "rosalind solomon" showed something (I stupidly omitted to note what, but something) on 21 July 2016. The next day, no results.


 * New Orleans Museum of Art
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) NOMA's website does have a search facility ... but this doesn't show anything for RS


 * Seagram Collection, New York.
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) It appears that this no longer exists. Carol Vogel, "Seagram's Owners Are Preparing Its Art Collection for Auction", New York Times, 12 December 2002.


 * Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, Lincoln, Nebraska
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) Subsequently renamed Sheldon Museum of Art, whose website has no search facility.

 * Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego
 * The article says that RS's work appeared within shows held in 1988 and 2003 of the museum's permanent collection. I (Hoary) can't find it via MOPA's page about its permanent collection.

South America

 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) There are five prints, as can be found by searching here for "solomon".
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) There are five prints, as can be found by searching here for "solomon".

Europe

 * Museum voor Volkenkunde, Rotterdam.
 * (Listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) Subsequently incorporated within Wereldmuseum Rotterdam, whose collections don't seem to be searchable.


 * Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, near Oslo
 * The article says that RS's work appeared within a show held in 1989 of the museum's permanent collection. I (Hoary) can't find it via HOK's search facility.

Asia

 * "Israel Museum, Tel Aviv"
 * (So listed in the back of El Perú y Otros Lugares.) But this museum is and has always been in Jerusalem, and its website shows nothing for RS. Meanwhile, the Eretz Israel Museum is in Tel Aviv; there doesn't seem to be a way to search through its collection.


 * Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Five prints.

Earth Rites publication detail
I haven't seen the catalogue Earth Rites: Photographs from inside the Third World, said to be a twelve-page exhibition catalogue. Amazon and Abebooks (which I believe is run by Amazon) say it's ISBN 9998087996. But an ISBN seems unlikely for such a slight publication; and the catalogue record doesn't mention any ISBN. So I wonder. Somebody with access to a copy of this might take a look at it. -- Hoary (talk) 23:04, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
