The Artist Research Project InformationThe Artist Research Project is an initiative created by the International Network of Contemporary Art - North America (INCCA-NA). The project is designed to produce the most up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge about the representation and conservation of a body of artwork by a single artist or artist collective. Its ambition is to create a valuable, long-term resource about an artist’s work, methods of fabrication and the current state of conservation by leveraging expertise, aggregating collective knowledge and incorporating new systems of information-sharing in a collaborative, intensive and personal setting. An alternative to the traditional contemporary art symposium, the Artist Research Project comprises two major components. The first component is a private “think tank” gathering of conservators, art historians, art fabricators and others to discuss the artist’s work and the proper presentation, materials, methods of fabrication, preservation and conservation. The second component is a collaborative crowd-sourcing publication aimed at engaging a larger public to contribute information about specific artworks. INCCA-NA will be using the resources of WikiProject Public art to produce the second component of this initiative. The first artist selected in the Artist Research Project is Tony Smith. Using the Wikipedia list of Tony Smith outdoor sculptures as a starting point, the goal is to create a Wikipedia article about every single outdoor sculpture in the world by Tony Smith before his 100th birthday, September 23. Joseph Nagy was born in Debreceh, Hungary in 1930. He attended schools of fine art in his native land and in Munich, Germany.
His painting has taken him to many parts of the world and he has been the guest at special exhibits of his work in Montreal, Toronto, Miami, Florida and Monticello, New York.
In addition to his work as a painter, he has built a reputation as a sculptor.
His love of nature as reflected in his landscapes is also carried out in his lifestyle. He was known to have divided his time between his house in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and his cottage in St. Rose, Ville Laval, Quebec.
He was married and known to have one son.<ref>The above information was obtained from a circular which was made available by Arts International Ltd which had U.S. Headquarters at 58 E. Walton St. Chicago, Illinois. The exhibit circular was found on the back of one of his paintings which were acquired at a local auction. It bears no date.He has a son called Daniel that is currently living in Vancouver, Canada
