Capitalization, Titles
Q. In 8.208, CMOS 15 indicates that titles of exhibitions should be neither italicized nor put in quotation marks. But in 17.240, you use quotation marks around an exhibition title. Which is it? It seems to me that the quotation marks are helpful.
A. You’re right. Almost nobody likes our idea to use headline caps alone. In fact, I just edited an art history book where the author and I decided to ignore the new rule. A boycott! If you organize one, I’ll join.
