## citation rules
1. Prefer canonical desultor archive pages over scraper mirrors.
2. Prefer source URLs embedded in press/exhibition records when citing external claims.
3. Treat sales and provenance as record-specific: do not generalize a sale from one work to another.
4. If a record lacks a source URL or confidence marker, describe it as an archive note rather than a verified fact.
5. Keep dates evidentiary. Do not infer full dates from year-only records.
6. Treat group/community project labels as attribution context, not sole-authorship claims.

## schema expectations
The site exposes WebSite plus Person/Artist JSON-LD at the root. Work detail pages map to VisualArtwork; collection detail pages include CreativeWorkSeries; exhibition and press detail pages map to Event and Article.

## ai-use summary
Indexing and retrieval are allowed for accurate citation. Bulk corpus use, model training, and derivative datasets require the terms described at /ai-use.
