Remove artwork images from artist pages. #1

Open dblock opened 7 years ago

The theory is that artist pages take precedence and images on artworks pages aren't being indexed. However if the artist's artworks are below the fold, those do get indexed and represent a 70,000 ite subset of our 500,000+ artworks.

@dblock thanks for this! excited to test here and to brainstorm on artists we should pick going forward for step 1. going to loop in Nicolette! I think some of the same principles that we use in selecting our artists for outreach might also be helpful here.

I deployed http://artsy.net/sitemap-artist-images.xml with sitemaps for the top 20 artists (by number of artworks). Waiting on Google to report indexing counts.
