Claims and sourcing

The entire article is unsourced. However, a bit of googling confirms that the book exists and also that at least some of what else is said seems to be true.

However, I've removed the furthest-fetched (far-fetchest?) stuff, viz:

One of his most provocative exhibitions quickly began as a private showing. DeVore premiered “Manoportraits after Marriage” at an invitation-only show on July 26, 1991. The photos included intimate nude self-portraits and either real or staged sexual acts with women of many nationalities, and a set of intimate physical contacts with a transvestite, including the exchange of wedding bands, which DeVore now wore upon his right hand as a complement to his original wedding ring. His hand and wedding ring was double exposed over many of the pictures as a commentary on social mores, taboos and sexual identity and liberty.

In 1994, DeVore moved to Bisbee, where he pursued his art and founded the gallery ArtAttack. He gained particular notoriety in Bisbee, known for its artistic and counter culture free spirits, as a provocative performance artist. His winning entry in the local Dog Art contest, entitled Sushi Puppy, created national outrage that culminated with commentary by radio talk show host Paul Harvey. Sushi Puppy featured an actual puppy’s corpse encased in resin and presented as a sushi offering in a formal Japanese meal setting.

It smells hoaxy or ("invitation-only") insignificant or both. Don't think of readding it unless clearly identified sources can back it up. -- Hoary (talk) 00:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
