Accession numbers for public collection column?

edit

I was thinking about going through and adding the accession numbers for cells in the Public collection(s) column where applicable, so, something like:

Title Year Medium Dimensions Edition size Public collection(s) 1997 CR no. Foundation cat. no. Notes
"Untitled" 1987 Glass, rubber, black and white photo, and wooden pedestal 67 x 12 x 12 in. overall, bottle 7 x 3 x 2 in. 1 Museum of Modern Art, New York (75.2003)[15] 6[12] GF1987-002[16]

Do you think this would be useful? Umimmak (talk) 06:21, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think that could be useful! Only reason I could think of not to would be legibility/space - especially with pieces owned by multiple collections, it might get a little crowded in the cell (thinking about pieces like Natural History or Last Light in particular). And in terms of completeness, there are definitely a decent number of collections without accession numbers (European collections in particular), and a few collections that don't have a public listing for the works (Go-Go Dancing Platform comes to mind, as it's a permanent loan and the only place with a linkable citation is a YouTube video they posted). But I think the accessions would be helpful regardless, just might need to add language clarifying that accession numbers aren't universally available for all works. 19h00s (talk) 12:51, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
