600 10 $a Klee, Paul, $d 1879-1940 $v Catalogs.

For dealer catalogs, use --Exhibitions if your main sources of information (t.p., added t.p., cover, colophon) indicate that the resource is related to stuff on view for a limited and stated time span; if the main sources just indicate that the stuff is on view, use --Catalogs. For auction catalogs, generally use --Catalogs.

A dealer (person or form) who has created a publication showing his wares for sale  = catalog. Sometimes it works better to turn personal names into corporate bodies: Paul Champkins (Firm), where Paul Champkins is functioning as a dealer.

For catalogs other than dealer and auction catalogs, if the resource reflects an exhibition, use --Exhibitions. If the resource does not reflect an exhibition, use --Catalogs.

If the resource describes the private collection, use one of the terms at H1427 (such as --Art collections) as "a free-floating subdivision under the name of the original owner of a private collection, the owner being an individual person, a family, or a corporate body" with the further subdivision --Catalogs.person, a family, or a corporate body". A resource about a private collection may be either a --Catalogs or --Exhibitions.

Usually the subdivision will appear on all topical headings once you've selected it, emphasis on usually. Sometimes --Pictorial works or --In art will be used instead (or in addition). The subdivision 'exhibitions' trumps the subdivision 'catalogs'.
