We have subject headings, we use a controlled vocabulary based on AAT with some local additions.

A little poking around on the Web seems to indicate it's not too common -- artist name, title, medium, collection, maybe a general category, yes, but something approaching the depth of the subject headings used in library catalogs--maybe no? If you do assign subject headings, which authorities are used -- LCSH? AAT?
