while trying to find artists that do autobiographical work, as I still haven't decided on my second artist for themes in contemporary art, I came across an exhibition called 'ego documents' on of the artists featured was Martin Kippenberger Who I am surprised I haven't come across before as his was is so eclectic and interesting that I took all his books out of the library and gorged on him for two hours and it is a strong possibility then I have found my second. Even tho he was a miserable sod.
