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 x"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.

@tanguatlay,
The writer didn't want to use commas repetitively; they could have used em dashes to prevent the use of too many commas.

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 x"ran from 9:30 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
