Life of the Artist 1989 - 92

A cult has grown up around the lives of living as well as dead artists, the artist often championed as celebrity, as hero. This work comments on how these all have and continue to used by the historian, the patron and the viewer to endow work of art with meaning and allow them to be better understood and appreciated and how artists themselves contribute to the creation of this myth.
