Comma after "titled"

As fleeting as a rainbow itself was the colourful piece of performance art by Very Small Exhibition (a one-man show by 43-year-old freelance designer and UAS adjunct professor Lee Wei Lieh), aptly titled “Very Momentary Exhibition,” which **ran from 9:30 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.

Sometimes I see a comma after “titled” in such constructions; at other times there isn’t.

What is the reason for this?

Thanks.

He is named, Joe.

The commas before aptly and after Exhibition are the ones needed.

To me, any of these looks acceptable: aptly titled “Very Momentary Exhibition”; aptly titled as Very Momentary Exhibition,; aptly titled Very Momentary Exhibition.
