CAPTIONS & COURTESIES

Courtesies

Artist, Title followed by (detail) if applicable, date in roman, medium in roman, dimensions in roman. Courtesy: the artist, Gallery name, location

ex: Cecilia Vicuña, Pa la brarma / Palabrarma, 1974/2016, screenprint, 44 × 69 cm. Courtesy: the artist, Lehmann Maupin, New York/Hong Kong/Seoul/London

If it is an article on a single artist and all the images have come from the same gallery, they are credited just once on the opening spread: e.g., 'All images courtesy: Lisson Gallery, London'.

If there are several different galleries involved, then each image will be given a courtesy.

Where courtesies/credits contain a slash, there should be no spaces on either side of the slash.

MAIN IMAGE/ THUMBNAIL if different from main image:

They are captioned in italics at the end of the article (not in the footnotes!), before the contributors list
