abuse
[edit]I am curious as to the claimed exhibition at "Phillip Morris Kabutz of American Sunburnt Fat Rich BLT Eating Avant Garde Pop Culture Koshers." While I could imagine he might make a work with this title, it is listed as a museum... Methinks this is abuse, though I do not know his bio well enough to know for sure. I did a quick google search for the phrase, and it only comes up on sites that have clearly lifted their content directly from this page. -- User:Theredproject —Preceding undated comment added 01:29, 27 July 2011 (UTC).

Please add some information about this exhibit to the Red Grooms page-- this is a significant solo show that showcases some of his most well-known works. Perhaps it can be added under the 'Collection and Honors' heading. Here is a very brief summary of the exhibition: Red Grooms: Traveling Correspondent is currently showing at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis, Tennessee. The museum commissioned an original piece, Memphis on my Mind, to be exhibited alongside works such as Hot Dog Vendor and Grooms' interactive work The Bus. The show opened October 15 and will continue through January 8, 2017.

Lv prosewriter (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2016 (UTC) Readers might be interested to know that there is a sculpto-pictorama, called The Book Store (1979) in the collection and on view at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, NY.
Not done: as you have not requested a specific change in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
More importantly, you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article.
Moreover, we do not aim to list every work by every artist. - Arjayay (talk) 13:53, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

This has been confirmed in the following oral history interview from the Archives of American Art: https://www.aaa.si.edu/download_pdf_transcript/ajax?record_id=edanmdm-AAADCD_oh_212253 Museumcatgirl (talk) 17:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
More context of sculpto-pictoramas needed
[edit]The section "Early Work" should be edited to make it more clear that Ruckus Manhattan wasn't a permanent installation, but there are works like The Bookstore (1979) that still exist. I suggest changing the past tense when mentioning Ruckus Manhattan, and adding in between the two pre-existing sentences context about how Ruckus Manhattant was dismantled, and reference to a piece done during that era that have stood the test of time. I suggest editing and formatting amongst some of the existing text like this. Sources have been added to all new information:
Another sculpto-pictorama, Ruckus Manhattan (1975) exemplified the mixed-media installations that would become his signature craft. Though high praise was received when Ruckus Manhattan debuted at Marlborough Gallery, the work never sold. (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/arts/design/red-grooms-marlborough-tribeca-ruckus-.html) Grooms eventually recycled elements of the original installation to create new work. (https://www.nytimes.com/1981/12/18/arts/new-home-new-look-for-ruckus-manhattan.html)
Grooms’ first large-scale installation since Ruckus Manhattan was The Bookstore (1979). In regards to the conception of The Bookstore, the artist states: “I wanted to be more controlled here than Ruckus Manhattan, more carefully constructed.” (Ratcliff, Carter. Red Grooms. 1st ed., Cross River Press, 1984, pp. 184-187.) The Bookstore has been on permanent display at the Hudson River Museum since its installation in 1979.

These vibrant three-dimensional constructions melded painting and sculpture, to create immersive works of art that invited interaction from the viewer. Museumcatgirl (talk) 21:02, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
