The article "A Comedian as Artist" was published By ROBERTA SMITH on February 8 in New York Times. It discussed a works by Andy Kaufman, the famous television star, who died in 1984.
The author reports that this person best known for his role on the popular sitcom “Taxi” in the guise of the loopy auto mechanic Latka Gravas. But the actor didn’t like the sitcom format and agreed to stay on the show only when the writers allowed Latka to develop multiple-personality disorder so he could play other characters. It is important to mention that this man was very unusual and politically incorrect satirist. For example he invited women to wrestle with him onstage or behaved unpredictably on talk shows and many other outrageous actions.
The second Kaufman is the subject of “On Creating Reality, by Andy Kaufman,” an engrossing, idiosyncratic exhibition at the Maccarone gallery in the West Village. Latka is nowhere in sight. The show has been organized by the artist Jonathan Berger, who makes the relational aesthetics reference in the news release. It comes in two parts, set in separate spaces: Kaufman’s stuff and his art. The main gallery at Maccarone is arrayed with 17 white vitrines with hairpin legs evoking 1950s Long Island, where Kaufman grew up. They display a fascinating range of ephemera and personal effects: letters, childhood poetry, scripts, unpublished novels, press clippings and photographs, tour schedules, props and costumes. This collection consist a various number of strange things. But this behaviour plays his role. Soon the actor lost his popularity.
And now in Maccarone’s new project space, you can view Kaufman’s art and see some of the costumes and props from the vitrines in use. Mainly you will see the unorthodox, versatile talent behind it all. The video segments include appearances at the Improv in New York and on David Letterman’s and Johnny Carson’s shows and many other things, which were closely connected with him. Concurrent with the Maccarone show, “Andy Kaufman’s 99cent Tour,” 10 evenings of screenings and discussions, will be held at Participant Inc. on East Houston Street, starting on Tuesday. Each evening will be overseen by some of the same aficionados appearing at Maccarone, as well as the artists Dan Graham, Mike Smith and David Robbins
To sum up, we see that this person was very interesting and extraordinary. And now he has many fans around the world.
Speaking of this article, I would like to say I know this man from his autobiographical film " The Man in the Moon". Jim Carrey plays the Kaufman's role and he do it to my mind perfectly. And when I read this article I understand that despite his behaviour and unusual humour this person is very popular even today.

It is a good try but you are to use special cliches before EACH sentence you take from the article, otherwise the impression is that you write it rather than render.
The list of expressions is posted in your group's blog.
Slips:

It discusseS (NO NEED FOR 'a') works by Andy Kaufman...
The author reports that this person IS best known for his role on the popular sitcom “Taxi”
Ok. I realized my errors. Need I to remake this rendering?
No, just take it into account than you render next time
