With the addition and merge of BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS to AAEV the combined project now consists of more than 1,950 htm files, takes 3,000 pages to print out, and references 8,300 artists.
ARTISTS:
Note regarding additional artist biographies:
New biographies tend to have very little
information other than the artist's name and a listing for one or two artworks.
Also, at this stage in the AAEV project, a high percentage of important B.C. artists
already have biographies, and new biographies tend to be for obscure artists with a
limited exhibition record or else artists who started exhibiting close to 1950.
