Questions this record can answer

Can an AEU artwork record stay useful when the artwork image cannot be reproduced?

Yes. The record remains available through metadata, source trails, documented dimensions, relationships, and an item-level rights fallback. Lack of image permission never erases the artwork record.

Basis: AEU methodology / rights policy.
