You can also find a book you are interested in about your artist or the work (hint: choose something from your assignment prompt's bibliography) and follow the subject headings for exhibits and catalogs:

Find a work about your artist and follow subject headings.

once you see a list of subject headings for your artist, choose any catalogues or exhibition publications.
