I removed the long table of solo exhibits and am copying it below as a record. I selected the most important museum shows - one-person shows, retrospectives, survey shows and travelling exhibitions, and removed the redlinked lesser important shows. Every show is now sourced, and presented by a notable museum (per Wikipedia standards). Additiional citations were also added.

not enough to preclude mainspace, but I think this paragraph needs some cleaning up:
Shields purchased a house on Shelter Island in 1971. He kept his studio in New York City for a year until taking up permanent residence on Shelter Island in 1972. He did not give up his SoHo loft until the mid-1980s, at which point he decided to raise his family, grow his own food, become a commercial fisherman and a licensed ferryboat captain.
So he relocated to a permanent residence in 1972ish, but had his loft for fifteen years? Was his studio not his loft? I don't think so, but can we clarify. What do you think @ Netherzone:? Star Mississippi 01:22, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Should he be called a painter, or a visual artist in the lead? His work was so very diverse and sculptural altho always lavishly painted. I'm wondering if visual artist is more accurate than painter. Any thoughts on this? Netherzone ( talk) 04:21, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Although it's not a major issue per se, it seems a bit odd to use the British English date format for citations, while using the American English date format for the body of the article. Since MOS:DATETIES would seem to apply to article, I can't see any reason why the same logic can't be applied to the citations. However, as long as the dates are consistent per WP:DATEUNIFY for both the body and citations, it's not really a problem; it just seems odd.
Another thing to consider would be the style of capitalization used for the titles of the sources being cited. The all caps style shouldn't really be used per MOS:ALLCAPS, but either sentence case or title case are fine. Right now, it's a bit of a mix and the style should be a consistent as possible. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:17, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Since Alan Shields § Selected public collections is basically nothing more than a simple introductory sentence followed by a list of museum or gallery names, the section might actually work better in a WP:BULLETLIST format. Normally, WP:PROSE is preferred and if more information about each collection can be added, then breaking things up into paragraphs could work well. In this case, though, the section looks like a WP:SEAOFBLUE which might make reading it a bit hard. The use of MOS:SEMICOLONs could also be mitigated by a bullet list format, especially since the location of each collection marked off by commas is no longer an issue. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:23, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Chainsawpunk - I saw that the image file of an example of his work is up for deletion. The fair-use image rules at WP Commons, as well as Wikipedia are quite strict. What I have found from my own experience is that images of copyrighted works of art used in an article must be within the specifications for fair use. In a nutshell, the image must be small sized, meaning less than 10,000 total pixels (about 360 x 280 px), and must be discussed in a significant way in the article. (And the correct license must be selected during the upload process.) The reason is that copyright laws are strict, and WP could be legally responsible if we don't comply with the image use rules. If you have difficulty re-uploading the image within the size limits for fair use, let me know (ping me here or message me on my talk page) and I'll help you with it.

Is the correct title J + K or J & K? I have seen it both ways. Netherzone ( talk) 03:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
The obituary written by Roberta Smith has a correction at the bottom. Confirming that the date of Shields' passing was the 13th, not the 20th. Please read to the bottom of the article before changing. Chainsawpunk ( talk) 17:19, 05 Jan 2023 (UTC)
