[edit]
So Vessel Orchestra itself is copyrighted so even if a photographer released the rights to photos, it still can't be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. However, many of the individual works are in the public domain, and The Met has released many of the images in its collection into the public domain as well. I think it's probably overkill to have a ton of images, but a few representative images might be worthwhile. Though they'd probably clutter the page until more gets written. Thoughts?

- @Umimmak: I love the idea of having photos. They add a lot. I am just not sure about the details of copyright rules on Wikipedia. The chart you created was a real labor of love. It adds a lot to the article. Let me know if there is anyway I can help with this project, although I usually don't go back to articles I've already contributed to, its so I don't get too bogged down in just one place. But for this article, I could make an exception. FetalFlaw (talk) 05:32, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
- @FetalFlaw: thanks, and I can take care of actually adding the image. As for copyright it seems like we can add The Met’s images of any of the works made before 1900, so the 14 oldest works. Do you think any of those options would be the most interesting? I’ve linked the individual works via their accession numbers and made the table sortable so browsing should be easy. If you don’t have any preference, it might be interesting to illustrate the oldest work (photographed above), but I’m good with any of them. If this article gets expanded perhaps more images can get added, but I’m hesitant to do too much more work on this article until we get sources that weren’t written while the exhibition was going on. Though the fact this was the first sound-based exhibition at the Met Breuer should be enough to demonstrate notability. Umimmak (talk) 13:53, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Umimmak: The amount of work you have put in is astounding. That is awesome that there is a link in the chart to a photo of every artwork in the orchestra. Its also nice that you are asking my opinion/permission, but I do not feel possessive of the article at all, so whatever you want to do I am sure would be fine. Perhaps it does make sense to begin with the oldest member of the orchestra, but really, even if you just wanted to put your favorite piece, that would also be fine with me. Every once in a while I'll come for a visit and see how the article is doing. Thanks again for taking the ball and running with it.FetalFlaw (talk) 09:35, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
