This article provides a study of an artistic corpus of audio description for the blind and visually impaired that has been produced in two different countries (Spain and the U.S.) and by two different entities (museums and artists), which hold their own standards and ideas on audio description. Based on the hypothesis that there is a shared basic notion on what is audio description for the blind and visually impaired and what is its purpose, both in Spanish and American culture, as well as among museums and artists, this study adopts a traductological approach and takes the works of Catalina Jiménez Hurtado and Silvia Soler Gallego (2015) and Christiane Limbach (2013) as its main references in order to analyse the linguistic characteristics of this corpus from a threefold perspective: lexical, semantic and axiological, to determine the extent to which the audio descriptions that are subject of this study show greater differences and/or similarities.
