Photo
The article's current and only photo is located where the photo of the biography's subject would usually go. Would anyone object to relocating the image to a section describing Opie's work where it can serve as an example of that work? Rklawton (talk) 12:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree. Good idea. -Lopifalko (talk) 12:31, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Catherine Opie: 700 Nimes: traveling dates
I've noted the originating exhibition location at MOCA. However, I chose not to add the traveling exhibitions since they are in the future. I would suggest adding these dates after each exhibition has opened.

2016, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

2016-2017, 700 Nimes Road, George Eastman House, Rochester, New York, USA

2017, 700 Nimes Road, NSU Art Museum, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

Information underrepresented in biographical, life and work set ions of Wiki article.JCROSBY (talk) 17:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC) For Catherine Opie's biological, life, and work information, specifics were added in order to tie together the vague description of the artists personal life and what inspired Opie to begin working and developing the work that we (as viewers) most certainly have come to know today.JCROSBY (talk) 17:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC) Certain information was utilized via informative, neutral articles from sources such as cited and sourced newspaper articles, including certain information objectively reintroduced, via first hand statements from the artist herself. Objectively summarized these statements that were not obtained information via biographical research.JCROSBY (talk) 17:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Needs rewrite for encyclopedia style
This article is written in boilerplate arts-promotional style. As I am not a member of the arts community, I find it unreadable. Please, somebody, rewrite this so that it is accessible to all. You might want to use a recent New Yorker article as a source.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:21, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Potential Updates
Hi there! I'm a student editor, and came across Catherine Opie's page and was brainstorming some points of improvement I noticed while reading through the page and comparing her page to other artist. I wanted to mention a couple points here before making any changes to get input or suggestions.

-adding a recent picture of the artist under the biographical section, complete DOB and acknowledging her partner/wife -re,organizing the work section into coherent subsections pertaining to exhibitions/works of art -adding more information concerning her early work during the AIDS epidemic in the 80s -adding information about her current job at UCLA, as well as any current projects she's working on/has mentioned publicly (if any)

Obviously, this is gonna require some help from sources so I also wanted to include a few promising journal articles/interviews I've come across to get your feedback on them as well. Any help identifying good sources for writing on wikipedia will be greatly appreciated!A.prdm93 (talk) 06:54, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Added Initial Descriptions of "Being and Having" and "Portraits"
Within the work section, I added brief elaborations to the description of Opie's first two works "Being and Having" and "Portraits" given that all other works mentioned thereafter had their own individual descriptions.

If anyone happens to know which references provided the other descriptions noted let me know! That paragraph seems to be missing citations. A.prdm93 (talk) 06:54, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Peer-Review
Hello fellow Wikipedians. I have deleted the sentence "Her portraits often document the queer community." I found this sentence to be redundant considering that the previous paragraphs discusses in detail her work in the LGBT community. Furthermore, I think that the paragraph that begins with "Being and Having 1991" should be combined with the paragraph above it because again, it becomes redundant since that paragraph also talks about that project of hers.
