Whats up with unlabeled artworks?

Questions September 9, 2017 by Rachel Winchester 1 comment

I know a lot of times that when people display art in their homes, they might not need a high quality label like in an art museum, if they decide to use a label at all. But what I don’t understand completely is why public works are often missing labels. Is there a reason for avoiding labels in public artworks?

Please complete the required fields.

    Perhaps a lot of unlabeled public art is produced by artists under contract with companies to create anonymously for x amount of money. These companies might prefer not to credit their artists in order to build/maintain a centralized brand or to hide from buyers the fact that they each contract the same few artists for a variety of projects or to hide their artists from competitive companies.
