How to Research an Art Object in the Nelson-Atkins

Collection

1• Visit the artwork in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Look at the label copy, and note the title, artist, artist period and accession number.

2• Search the collections online from the museum's website, http://www.nelson-atkins.org/collections located under the Heading Art | Collections. This

valuable resource may include label copy, size, medium, museum location and other information

3• Search the library's collection of books, auction catalogs and more in the online catalog http://libraryonesearch.nelson-atkins.org

4

• After you've searched the collection database, museum publications and the online catalog, the next step is to search the library's databases at

http://libraryonesearch.nelson-atkins.org The databases include a comprehensive art encyclopedia, article citations, full-text articles, auction sales results and are available from the library's public computers.

5• Library staff is happy to help you further research. Please contact the reference staff at the Spencer Art Reference Library at 816.751.1216 or via the
