Art Catalogs 2
What we mean by “art catalogs” here Listings of artwork by one or more artists,
usually with many pictures Also including catalogs of art exhibitions NOT including
Auction and sales catalogs (covered separately in LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1)
Artists’ books (books produced by artists intended as visual objects)
Other types of books about art like instructional materials, biographies of artists, books about aesthetics
Art Catalogs 3
AACR2 21.17B1 not in RDA
21.17B1: If a work consists of reproductions of the works of an artist and text about the artist and/or the works reproduced, enter under the heading appropriate to the text if the person who wrote it is represented as author in the chief source of information of the item being catalogued. Make an added entry under the heading for the artist. Otherwise, enter under the heading for the artist.
No special instruction in RDA equivalent to AACR2 21.17B1! Use general instructions instead.
Art Catalogs 4
Remains the same in RDA
LCRI 21.1B1 = LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1 Art Catalogs
LCRI 21.1B2 Art Catalogs = LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1 Art Catalogs
An artist can still be considered a creator (main entry in AACR2-speak) in RDA because 6.27.1.2 includes the idea of artist as creator
Reproductions of the work(s) of an artist named the same way as original work

Review
Check 19.2.1.1.1 first to see if a corporate body should be considered creator
The creator may not be named on the preferred source of information
Text is not more important than art when determining “main entry” in the bibliographic record
Conventional collective titles are not restricted to textual works
