Info that was added by Sof chiang appears to be a copyright infringement from ubuweb and was reverted. Rewster 07:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

From the UbuWeb FAQ: "Q: Can I use something posted on UbuWeb on my site, in a paper, in a project, etc. A: Sure. We post many things without permission; we also post many with things with permission. We therefore give you permission to take what you like even though in many cases, we have no received permission to post it. We went ahead and did it anyway. You should too."

Erm, NO. That's hardly a valid legal release of material under the GFDL. Also seems like they're saying "we're lax on copyright, you can be too." I don't think that line would work too well for the Foundation in a court of law. --kingboyk 12:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Performance artist?

Should the category "Performance artist" be added? It's not clear if he performed in his own "happenings" or assigned others to do so. Badagnani 20:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Major figure, must be enlarged

There's an enormous written literature on this major figure but his generation wasn't aware that the internet is going to be the fountain of research for future generations. It will skew ideas of importance. You can find gigantic essays here on every American Idol contestant but John Cage and Allan Kaprow have these stubby little entries. When Cage died it was on the front page of the New York Times. Kaprow has volumes written about him, but they're not online. Not only Kaprow scholars but all art historians should take note.

photo

If you can help edit the photo, that would be great. It's got this annoying text before and after it. I could not get the code just right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Accosta2 (talkcontribs) 01:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

quotes?

I am pretty sure I have seen it noted before that wikipedia is not to be a quote farm, so why are there so many quotes? Perhaps consider deletion of some of these. Also, many of said quotes are uncited; another no-no. Though I agree that the quotes are insightful, we simply can't prove they are his quotes without sources. Assuming all quotes are from one source, this needs to be made more clear. I lack the time at the moment to do so, my apologies to whom it may concern. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xmarkmanx (talkcontribs) 09:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Error re: Brecht and Lichtenstein

George Brecht was never a student or even directly affiliated with Rutgers. He was a chemist at the nearby Johnson and Johnson laboratory, and became friends with Robert Watts initially, and later Kaprow and the rest of the Rutgers Group.

Roy Lichtenstein came from Suny Oswego in 1960 as a professor.
