Chris,
I have not shown in a museum yet, It matters not.
My oldest public art has been in place for 45 years
and was done on a take or leave it basis, which is
the only way i work today,and with increasing success.
I consider my work sacred...........
Toy commercial sculpture, which I did for years,was a
totally different matter, of compromises in it's production.

I remember a portrait that Hockney did 40 years ago - but I really
doubt that
the Weisman's had much to say about changing the eyes or ears.
And regarding sculpture -- I can't think of anything other than
what a museum
commissioned for itself - and that would take us back to 1960 - and
again, I
doubt that the famous sculptor (Jacques Lipchitz) was asked to make
any
changes.
So yes, "art is sacred", as Geoff put it.
The people who mostly make things on commission today are not
recognized as
the kind of artists worthy of museum display.
