You mean an artist statement, that is not supposed to be more than a page long? Its usually pretty vague, and I know artists to write fake ones just because. And no, artists may have their own reasons for making the work but in the end most realize that it will always mean different things to different people, and its up for interpretation. I just dont get how anyone expect people to see something and not have any opinion on it whatsoever. Thats the point of seeing things isnt it? To interpret what it is we are seeing?

Of course people will take it how they see it and may buy it because of what they see not what was intended to be seen , thats life and thats how art gets sold. But every artist wants there pieces intent to be known. At least thats the experiences I have. If anyone cares to see the gallery I worked for check out http://progressivegalleries.com/ Artists I liked (as people not there art..) http://progressivegalleries.com/wpg2?g2_itemId=1416 http://progressivegalleries.com/wpg2?g2_itemId=514 http://progressivegalleries.com/wpg2?g2_itemId=1458
