Re: taking inventory of artwork



You're right Rebecca. We wouldn't do anything without the approval of our conservation people. But there are ways of coding things without direct attachments. A label on a string with a bar code could be attached, for example, carefully to the end of a carpet and then slipped underneath. Furniture could probably be marked on the underside. Sticky labels straight on would probably be the exception rather than the rule.
