Citing Artwork Displayed Online:

Make sure you have found an authoritative website displaying your artwork. Preferably this should be the official museum website for where the artwork is.

  4. Under "All 59 Options" choose "Painting/Artwork"
  5. Make sure to then switch the medium type to Website.
  6. You will have to fill in everything. EasyBib will not autocite for you.
  • Fill in Painting Title (what is the painting called)
  • You can leave out Collection. Just leave it blank.

  • Fill in the location of the gallery/museum (city)
  • Fill in the year the artwork was created (if multiple years, choose the year the artwork was finished)
  • Under Contributor, fill in the artist's name
If we were looking at this piece of art in person, that would be it for the citation. But since we are looking at it online, EasyBib is asking for some more information
  • Fill in Website Title (just like when you're citing a website - what is the name of the website we are looking at, i.e. Artnet)
  • Fill in Publisher (just like when citing a website, look for the copyright or published by indicator usually at the bottom)
  • Copy and paste in your website's URL into the URL box
  • Fill in date of Electronically Published (use the date you find for the copyright just like when citing a website)
  • Lastly, fill in the date you accessed this artwork by clicking the "Today" button.
