THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE OF SERVICE...
what i choose to share with you and others is my EVOLVING body of work ...
"MY" "STATEMENT" IS MY VISUAL ART... because
Sometimes "No comment" IS a comment.

An artist's words are always to be taken cautiously. The finished work is often a stranger to, and sometimes very much at odds with what the artist felt, or wished to express when she began.

Marina Abramovic - Includes a biography on her website. This focuses on achievements, events and exhibitions. The statement about what her work is about reads as if written by a gallery. She has also developed a Legacy website for her own art institute.
Louise Bourgeois - discusses the influences on how artists talk about their work - but still actually says what she feels about her work
Jasper Johns - no website but several sites (including prestigious Museums) which purport to tell the story of his art. He's an interesting example of an artist who has made statements on film about how his art develops.

My primary concern is visual form. The visual meaning may be discovered afterwards – by those who look for it.
Jasper Johns

Alex Katz - no artist statement. His website includes a narrative bio and a timeline.
Jeff Koons - there is no artist statement about his art - just a biography
Yoko Ono - the Imagine Peace website lacks an artist statement and yet it's informative in a disjointed way (a lot like Ai WeiWei). It contains an Imagine Peace Manifesto and 25 Things Even My Best Friends Didn’t Know Until Now
Cindy Sherman's gallery (Gagosian) lists the many international places she has had exhibitions and provides a bibliography as a pdf download. No bio and no artist statement.

Gerhard Richter - no artist statement. he has a biography (with a page for different time periods e.g. The 1970s - exploring abstraction) and a Chronology - which is split into decades and is strictly factual.

Yayoi Kusama - no artist statement. Website includes a biography. This is a long timeline based narrative which lists events in her life and exhibitions.
Takashi Murakami - no website. Gagosian lists a biography, list of exhibitions and a bibliography

Ai Wei Wei - no artist statement (his work is his statement?). Website has one line biography
