Sources of Information in the artists' catalogues

The information presented here, in these artists catalogues, has been drawn from a number of sources. In particular information has come from (A) printed books and sale catalogues, (B) exhibition catalogues, price lists, etc. (C) the artists themselves and (D) observations made by the compilers of this catalogue. (E) catalogues (printed or online) of collections.

Some of these sources are more reliable than others, but errors are all too frequent, particularly in titles, dates, media and sizes. Where possible, the information has been cross-checked in as many sources as available and where discrepancies exist, an attempt has been made to determine the most likely facts.

We have employed the Russell Nomenclature to show how the information has been derived. The following codes appear in green braces, and have these meanings:
