While this article is complete up until about 1990, it ignores the work Close has done since his accident in 1988. Currently, Close works nearly entirely in printmaking, directing a series of assistants to create larger-than-life prints in modes such as woodblock, reduction block, and etching.

First photo caption: wrong eye?

The caption says the detail at right shows the right eye. Surely it's the left eye? For one thing, the reflection in the subject's spectacle lens is missing from the detail. Cognita 22:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In both photos, it's the eye on the right of the painting, not the human subject's right eye. Sorry, I thought that would be assumed. Can you suggest a clearer way to word that? Postdlf 22:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right now, it says "right eye" in one caption, and "left eye" in the other. 91.192.31.131 11:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personal interviews and voice recordings as valid references

Hi everyone, I've began my own quest to talk to artists, and attend live discussions about art and artists. I was wondering if Wikipedia accepts citations from recorded interviews? If so, how does one present it as a reference? Thanks for your advice -- Marcuslim (talk) 01:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relying on your own recorded interviews or overheard discussions would count as original research and would not be permitted, unless you can get those interviews distributed/published/broadcast through a reliable source. Otherwise, how would we verify its accuracy? Postdlf (talk) 03:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Documenting date of "The Event"

While one would expect that "The Event" would be well documented and citations would be easy, I'm finding that there is some discrepancy about exactly when this occurred. I've seen multiple references that place it in 1988 as well as others that place it in 1989. Was hoping it would be covered in the NY Times, but have come up empty handed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.166.146.186 (talk) 23:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I found citation for 1988 in a book review of a Close biography called "Close Reading". Dec 7, 1988.
