To cite an artistic work, a typical
bibliography entry will appear as follows:
Van Gogh, Vincent (Artist). (1888). Entrance to the public
gardens
in Arles [Painting]. New York: Metropolitan
Museum of
Art.
The name(s) of the artists are listed at the head of the entry, last
names first. Each name is followed by a description in parentheses of
that individual's function (in this example, Van Gogh is the only
artist), and a period should appear after the final parentheses. After
listing the date in parentheses followed by a period, italicize the
title, and specify in brackets the type of art (painting, pottery,
statue, etc.). List the location and the name of the institution
displaying the work (in this example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art).
For more specific
information, consult the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (Fifth Edition).
