Kiki Smith

.........................

Anna Holmes:

Longer beginning paragraph about her on the top that tells who she is, there are only three sentences. Talk more about her personal life through each decade, if any significant things happened to her and what art she created for each decade. Talk more about her unique artist books if they are that unique. There is not much about her when compared to other artists wiki articles, the article only describes a portion of what she does and her life. Yet if I search her name online I get many results, a lot more information than this wikipedia article has. Found a lot of recent interviews of her from the past couple months. It does not talk as much of her present life and work as it does for her past. Perhaps more photos of her art or at least an update on her work, but the photos that are already on wiki might be the work that she is most known for and is of importance. Maybe add a Gallery or a Work section near the bottom showing a few more pictures of her work.

Thomas DePaolo:

Be more specific: Stop swapping between She, Smith, and Kiki. Picking one to be clear, especially when we bring up multiple Smiths.

More links to some claims or works of art in question.

Who is Beatrice?

Have things better listed in order of date (Example: Under Artist books, it lists them as 1991, 2001, 1987)

Try and flesh out the works she created and the information about them and more of the influences if we can

Try and gather more information on her growing up as well as influences possibly of her being west-German descent

More information on what her reasoning is behind her choices in her subjects

Han Pfeifer:

More examples of the variety in her art are needed. Since she's been working for several decades it'd be helpful to see how her work has evolved. More sources on subject matter and influences. Break down most popular projects and galleries and the intent behind them. More of a chronology is needed for her progress in the field as well. Insight into her personal life will be beneficial to allow the reader to connect the dots.
