Description
Prefix the original artist string with that qualifier.
An artwork record can distinguish an edition, proof, accession, attribution, or display note. These labels preserve a stated catalog convention; they do not authenticate an object or establish ownership.
Prefix the original artist string with that qualifier.
When to use this tool
Use Artwork Attribution Qualifier Token when you need to format a supplied art-record detail consistently while retaining its source and qualifiers.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter artistName, qualifier. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require artistName to contain nonwhitespace text and a listed attribution qualifier. Prefix the original artist string with that qualifier.1

"input": {
"artistName": "Ada Example",
"qualifier": "attributed to"
},
"output": {
"label": "attributed to Ada Example"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- This records a supplied attribution rather than authentication, expertise, provenance, authorship certainty, or an art-market valuation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Compare the resulting label with the collection catalog and the institution's documentation conventions.
