{{AFC comment|1=Providing "bare URLs" as references is a bad idea: this explains how and why. And repeating identical references rather than repeating the reference to the same source is wasteful. I thought I'd convert three identical bare-URL references to three references to a single, helpfully described source in order to show you the way.

That particular reference turned out to be to a newspaper article from 2004. (I can't read this unless I pay, and I don't plan to pay.) This 2004 source is used as a reference for an event that occurred in 2011. How is this possible?

Please used named references, check that each source really says what your use of it implies that it says, and check that the resulting draft shows that there are at least three detailed sources about Paasch that are independent of him and independent of each other.

Art

A recurring motif in his conceptual art is a sentence, often reduced to a phrase, intentionally designed to provoke misinterpretation. His exhibitions explore themes of value and meaning in relation to money, language, and images. One of his hallmarks is staging exhibitions in semi-public spaces. His signature pieces such as Abend teuer often traverse the terrain between commonplace observations, irony, and the delicate subtleties and playful use of language.https://rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/duesseldorf/stadtteile/pempelfort/duesseldorf-kuenstler-igor-paasch-stellt-seine-werke-in-villa-aus_aid-110555915https://rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/duesseldorf/duesseldorf-ausstellung-von-igor-paasch-bei-it-s-art-baby_aid-125230337
