Construct a uniform title for a named work of art when it is needed for an access point (main entry, added entry, subject entry) on a bibliographic record. (The term "bibliographic record" is here used to refer to a cataloging record that describes an item and provides access to that description. Such an item may be a book, serial, slide, picture, art original, etc. The term is used to distinguish such records from authority records.) Use as the uniform title the title found in English-language reference sources. (Reference sources include books and articles written about the work of art. Cf. footnote 1 to AACR2 rule 22.1B.) If not found in English-language reference sources, use other reference sources. However, a reference source that routinely uses one language for all titles should not be used unless necessary. If the evidence is inconclusive, use (in this order of preference) the title found in:
Follow the rules in chapter 21 for the choice of access points.

(N.B. This reference is an exception to the principles of AACR2 whereby secondary access is made for joint creators on the bibliographic record for the item. References in name authority records are made here because most uses of headings for individual works of art will be as subject secondary entries.)

Note: In an exchange of messages with Bob Hiatt of the policy office at LC in late 2005, he stated that uniform titles for named works of art were only to be established for works of FINE art, not for decorative arts (those genres classified in NK). Following that exchange, the name authority record for the Portland Vase was deleted in favor of the subject authority record.
