Image citation basics
Image citations follow the same basic format as other citations. The artist is considered the author of the work. Include the medium of the work in brackets following the title of the work. A museum where a work is housed would be similar to a publisher for a citation, and will include the location of the museum.
More detailed information and examples can be found in section 10.14 of the manual.
